Islands Against Cancer has been by my side from the moment I got my diagnosis. This organization truly cares for those battling this demon we call cancer. From the moment we made contact they have been very informative, attentive, kind and full of compassion.

Programs & Initiatives
Through our programs, we bring technology, advocacy, and emotional support directly to cancer patients and their families—so no one faces treatment alone.
How We Help
Navigating cancer care can feel overwhelming, especially when technology, medical information, and appointments become part of everyday life. Our goal is to make the process feel more manageable, connected, and supported for both patients and caregivers.
Patients are referred by healthcare providers, caregivers, family members, or self-referral.
Our team evaluates each patient’s needs and prepares technology, educational resources, and support tools.
Patients receive assistance learning to use healthcare portals, communication tools, and digital resources.
We continue providing guidance, encouragement, and support throughout treatment and survivorship.
Featured Story
What Started It All
When my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I asked him what he wanted to do with his time. Together, we built a vision that became Islands Against Cancer.
He noticed so many elderly patients sitting alone in treatment, lost in a digital world they didn’t understand. We decided to help them.
Today, we provide iPads, transcription devices, and books at no cost — and most of all, we give patients back hope, dignity, and support.
This is his legacy, and it’s why we exist.
