Geography
- In Whatcom County with medical expenses and provides emotional support
Overview
Purpose: Assists cancer patients in Whatcom County with medical expenses and provides emotional support.
Award History: Since its inception in 1980, the fund has helped over 500 individuals in Whatcom County.
Background: The fund was started by Dr. Theresa Laurendeau, a retired Bellingham Pathologist, in 1980. She saw firsthand the mental and financial burdens faced by cancer patients and their families and was compelled to start this life-impacting fund.
Impact: The Laurendeau Cancer Fund does more than help individuals with medical expenses—it shows them that someone in the community cares about them and hopefully helps them focus on healing rather than worrying about mounting medical expenses.
