Individuals were screened as part of outreach during the Care2Fight Health & Wellness Fair and post-events that were a part of the Mammograms Matter Health Initiative.
The goal of BarbaraCares’ Mammograms Matter Health Initiative is to address the financial barriers and the varying social determinants of health (SDOH) faced by individuals at risk of a late-stage breast cancer diagnosis. Through our Community Partnership Program and the dedication of Foundation 56, we were able to reach and serve those in the community most in need of a life-saving mammogram. Funding supported free at no-cost screenings for women across the DFW metroplex. Below is data detailing service delivery in 2023 and 2024, along with demographic and needsbased information for supported individuals through this collaborative program.
Funding Assistance Provided to the BarbaraCares Foundation has totaled $25,490 USD from October 2023 to present. This support has allowed us to reach individuals who would otherwise go without a breast cancer screening due to financial or employment barriers. Through this collaboration, more people are receiving timely mammograms, increasing the chance of detecting disease early and improving long-term outcomes.
The Impact on Investment from Foundation 56 is based on all the individuals served directly through the funding provided to BarbaraCares:
• Participants Screened: 100%
• Commitment To Monthly Self Breast Exams: 100%
• Uninsured Individuals Served: 100%
• Access to Medical Binders and Tarrant Area Resource Guide: 100%
• 30/90/180/365 Day Follow-Up Agreement: 100%
• Repeat Participants – These figures represent individuals who have been continuously served through this funding partnership since 2023 through 2025. Notably, 58% of participants returned for screenings supported by Foundation 56 in each of the years 2023, 2024, and 2025.
(Please Note: The 42% outstanding represents a.) individuals that moved out of the area, b.) those that now have insurance that covers screenings, and c.) those that were not responsive)

BarbaraCares saved me in my darkest hour as I battled defeating another round of Breast Cancer and from losing everything I worked hard for. This organization went over way past beyond their limits to assist me and my 5 children. This will be the first time since Sept2021 that I’ve been able to feel that I’m not losing everything because I don’t have the finances to pay my bills. They assisted me with gas cards, my utilities, and my rent it was actually delivered to my front door. they were more than happy to see that I got everything I needed and in a timely manner which made it even more awesome. They were polite every call to inform me of the process. Barbara Cares I’m truly forever grateful cause of the assistance. I thank everyone that has given to them because they truly help the people. I cried for a hour you guys are truly heaven sent and those that support them!!!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram, no lumps were developed (yet) and I am lucky to have breast cancer stage zero. I found amazing health professionals and lots of support from friends and cancer groups, including BarbaraCares, that provided me a much needed financial support. To be part of this amazing community during hard times brings me joy and reminds me that I am not alone.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call from Xavier with the foundation stating they had received additional funding for assistance for me. This time has been very challenging mentally, emotionally and financially for me and my family. When receiving assistance of any kind it is much appreciated. I do not take it for granted. I am thankful and grateful to be chosen to receive this assistance. I thank God for this blessing.

BarbaraCares has been such a blessing to us. They continue to reach out and offer support to us, which has really touched me and made us feel.. less forgotten during a very isolating and traumatic experience. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
