The Heart Behind Granted

Hearing the words “you have breast cancer” can be one of the most paralyzing moments in your life. We at Granted know that firsthand. We have seen and experienced just how difficult it can be to make it day by day. From tests to chemo appointments to surgeries, the physical battle being waged is fierce—and the toll taken on your mental and emotional well-being can’t be underestimated.

That’s why we created Granted. We know what a struggle it is to just stay above water during this time, so we’re here to help with the rest. Whether that looks like cleaning your house, helping care for your children, or providing rides to the hospital, we’ve got you. Even if you just need someone to sit with you during your treatment, we want to be there.

We know the power of support and connection during this time. Our hope is that we can come alongside our sisters who are in the midst of the battle, and help to lighten their load.

You focus on your healing. Let us support you in the day-to-day.
