Many applicants report monthly incomes of less than $2000\, far below what is necessary to live in San Diego. SOPFC launched a gift card program to help cancer patients with food\, gas\, and purchases at big box stores like Target and Walmart to meet immediate needs.  The gift card program has been a resounding success\, providing 455 grants totaling $186\,125\, with an average grant of $400. \nVembra Holnagel is a founding board member of Shades of Pink Foundation California and a past president of the board. She was invited into the nonprofit by her daughter. Joining the organization gave Vembra a chance to help women in her community and spend time with her daughter. She also had a personal reason for working with SOPFCA. In 2012\, she lost a dear friend to breast cancer after a long and difficult battle. \nActivity: Our activity will be to hand-write letters to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. A hand-written letter has the special power to heal. Girls Love Mail collects your hand-written letters of encouragement\, bundles them\, and sends them\, via the caring staff at cancer centers\, to women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Every letter is a gift from you to a woman going through a difficult time.  \nAnyone can write a letter! All it takes is a little of your time and the cost of a postage stamp to help a woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
