Read the full testimonials of the warriors that have been helped by Black Hills Road Trip of Hope

“Having cancer means your life changes in an instant. Within minutes of getting the diagnosis you are told you will be getting numerous appointments set up with numerous doctors, technicians, and specialists. You go from one appointment to another, having to take off work to go. While you are overwhelmed with this busy new schedule and all the information being thrown at you, in the back of your mind you are anxiously asking yourself, ‘How am I going to do this?’ On top of all of this, I had the added stress of having to come from out of town for my treatments. I cannot begin to express how grateful I was to receive money for gas from Black Hills Road Trip of Hope. Although it may seem like such a small gesture, it was a massive weight taken off my shoulders and my family who will drive me for 25 treatments. The ease of the Visa gift card means I can fill up with gas at my local gas station. Again, it may seem seem small but it provided normalcy for me to go to my own gas station. I cannot thank this organization or its donorship enough for providing that normalcy in a time when everything has been taken out of my control.”

“When cancer strikes, it doesn’t discriminate who it affects. The emotional, physical and financial sides are all impacted. I was very fortunate to receive monies from Black Hills Road Trip of Hope. I was able to pay my phone bills and electric bills with the generous financial help. A cancer patient needs to focus on getting well. The added financial struggles can be consuming. I am truly grateful for the financial help I received from Black Hills Road Trip of Hope. Many thanks!!!”

“Black Hills Road Trip of Hope really came through for me as Ive been battling stage 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma breast cancer. Their gift card donations allowed me to forget the worries about how I would keep food in my kitchen and gas in my vehicle while fighting this terrible disease. To be able to drop that worry alone has been a blessing in disguise and given me the ability to focus on my treatments, staying healthy, and retaining a positive attitude. A huge thank you to Black Hills Road Trip of Hope for helping me through the fight of my life with the generous donations and selflessness. What they do matters and their kindness will never be forgotten.”

“I would like to thank the Road Trip of Hope organization for the very generous donation of gift cards I received on the very first day of chemo treatment for breast cancer. As I was receiving my treatment a representative of this organization visited me in my room offering help in the form of gift cards to help with the out-of-pocket expenses of chemo treatment.
I live 170 miles from Rapid City, SD which is the closest place to receive treatment. As I travel down this road of a breast cancer diagnosis, it is overwhelming to begin with. The fact that they have donated gift cards has been a great blessing! I have been using these gift cards for fuel for travel and meals when I must be away from home. I am on a year-long protocol, so this donation will certainly help as the months go by. The travel expenses are one less thing I will worry about thanks to Black Hills Road Trip of Hope!"

“I greatly appreciate BHRTOH for all the help with gas to get to all of my appointments”

“CANCER IS EXPENSIVE. The assistance that the Black Hills Road Trip of Hope provides is a blessing that makes the “cancer journey” much easier. We are forever grateful for the assistance and support.”

" A year ago on January 5, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have 2 rare diseases which required me to travel to UCHealth in Aurora, Colorado. When I received my cancer diagnosis, I knew that it would require more trips to Aurora, which also meant more expenses. This was a great concern for me due to being on a very limited income. Black Hils Road Trip of Hope took that weight off of my shoulders by helping me with my travel expenses so that I could receive the cancer treatment that I needed without having the additional stress of worrying about expenses to get the help I needed. I am so grateful for their help because I was able to get the treatment that I needed and for being able to focus on my health rather than having the additional stress. I am happy to say that I was able to complete that treatment and am now cancer free! My cancer was caught in the early stages and was able to be removed. I am still receiving oral treatment although I am so grateful that I was able to receive a good outcome. Thank you, Black Hills Road Trip of Hope! I don't know how I would have done it without you!"
