Women With Purpose is a non-profit organization in Tampa Bay. We are committed to helping families in our community with cancer. We provide non-medical financial assistance for basic necessities by directly paying rent, mortgages, utilities, car payments and insurance, gas and food cards.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” –
There are times that someone faces life changing events. A diagnosis of cancer, a loss from a job due to illness, a disability. In an instant life can bring catastrophic challenges we must face, our basic needs force us to reach out for a helping hand. This is where Women With Purpose steps in, by helping others in times of tragedies it allows them to focus on healing and recovery.
A cancer patient completes an application for Women With Purpose. Once received we obtain copies of current outstanding bills for rents/mortgages, utilities and car expenses we arrange to direct pay bills. In addition, we also provide families with food and gas cards.
