Who We AreThe Stevie JoEllie's Cancer Care Fund is a Thyroid Cancer, Awareness, Education and Supportive Services Network program incorporated under The Happy Angels Project Inc., October 2008 as a New Jersey based and registered nonprofit. The initial mission for The Happy Angels Project, a ramdon acts of kindness volunteer group, was expanded to include this program initiative as a result of our personal experience with thyroid cancer, specifically the lack of access to relevant medical information and supportive services including; misdiagnosis disclosure, common diagnositc procedures that fail to provide accurate early diagnosis, supportive psychosocial treatment options and evaluation, actual treatment complications follow-up care guidance which lacked comprehensive long term nutritional support or integrative therapy accesss solutions conducive to sound emotional recovery and maintenance during and post treatment. We realized that accessible solutions to our concerns were not specifically targeted to easily meet thyroid cancer patients needs in our state and we decided, as a family, to create a program that would find solutions for these issues that could be readily shared and/or duplicated nationwide through bi-lingual programs that meet the demand for informative and supportive services in the growing latin american, bi-racial and multicultural community we live in and inclusive of anywhere thyroid cancer awareness and education is needed. We are in the process of developing partnerships and hope to develop long term relationships with existing organizations and programs to assist us in the development and creation of a Spanish Language and "bi-lingual" Thyroid Cancer community awareness and educations campaign targeting minority and empoverished communities accross New Jersey before they are touched by Thyroid Cancer in any way.
Our goal is to establish multiple statewide "bi-lingual" educational programs and Thyroid Cancer Support Groups in the community and online. Our focus will be developing programs that address the ethnic and cultural differences that exist in the collaborative effort of a whole body approach to wellness. See Cancer Facts for Latinos
Our vison and hope is to be able to expand our developing educational and awareness campaigns to include supportive financial assistance grants for patients and their families recovering from thyroid excision surgery, who experience chronic or acute difficulties adjusting to fluctuating thyroid hormone levels and/or medication side effects, including in the long range psychosocial needs of those affected with fertility loss and difficulties due to thyroid cancer treatment complications and lifelong fluctuating hormonal changes.

Family Care & Thyroid Cancer NewsThe Family Care and Special Thyroids News will be a newsletter or e-bulletin designed to provide current information and enlist the entire family as a resource to help them learn together how to live with thyroid cancer and secondary treatment complications, co-existing disorders, medical concerns and long term wellness information. It will seek to identify and discuss family beliefs about cancer, specific thyroid function disorders associated with cancer treatment and critical family issues during a health crisis, caregiving tips and immediate practical problems as well as solutions.
