Ana's Place Mission

Ana lost her battle with Ocular Metastatic Melanoma on October 11, 2019. Like Ana, cancer patients will likely experience feelings of fear, uncertainty, denial, anger, guilt, stress, anxiety, loneliness, sadness and depression. Without a great support system and the proper insurance coverage, their journey may also include economic hardship and financial burden.

The mission of Ana’s Place will fulfill Ana’s desire – “When I get better, I want to help as many people as I can who are going through what I’m going through”.

Ana’s Place provides complimentary comfort and experiences for cancer patients and their families, so they may have a chance to recharge, renew, and rejuvenate their body, mind and spirit.
