Our Mission:
Many patients diagnosed with breast cancer have extra financial burdens placed on them during treatment &
recovery. Common issues are mortgage/rent, insurance payments, transportation costs, childcare, and other 
essentials of daily life. Our mission is to reduce financial stress for those undergoing breast cancer treatment 
in Southeast Michigan by providing prompt funding for daily living expenses.
Our Impact:
Since 2005, SOPF has helped more than 1,000 individuals diagnosed with breast cancer in Southeast Michigan. Originally we covered only the tri-county area, but over time we expanded to include nine counties in Southeast Michigan. We have provided over $2.5 million of financial support to help cover the costs of everyday living ex-
penses. By paying bills directly, we help relieve patients of that burden, and give them the peace of mind neces-
sary to move forward with their treatment and recovery.

Uber Health--a spinoff of Uber, the popular service in which drivers use their own cars to transport others--is working with medical facilities that are willing to arrange patient transportation in order to avoid costly missed appointments. 
A health care provider books the patient's ride, either as needed or for the future; multiple rides can be booked at once. At booking and again at the time of the ride, the patient is notified via text or phone of the driver's approach. While a patient is enroute to the appointment, the provider can track his or her location on a map. It's also HIPPA-compliant, meaning that medical details stay private and few Uber employees have access to that information.
