ABOUT THE ELLIE FUND

The Ellie Fund was established in 1995 in memory of Eleanor Popkin. A Newton, Massachusetts resident for more than 30 years, "Ellie" volunteered at numerous local hospitals and health programs despite her 9 year battle with breast cancer. Her sons Jeff and Elliott created The Ellie Fund to continue the generous giving Ellie practiced in her life, and to ease similar burdens the family encountered while caring for their mother during her illness.

 

CARE FOR THE CAREGIVER

The Ellie Fund's innovative Care for the Caregiver program is based on the belief that fighting cancer is easier when patients and families can focus their energy on each other. Whether women undergoing breast-cancer treatment live alone or have served as the primary caregiver for the family and now have to rely on others, it is our belief that by helping caregivers nutritionally, mentally, and emotionally by easing the burden of their daily activities, we can aid them in their battle against breast cancer.

No one but The Ellie Fund offers the speed and ease of support services for social workers, patients, and families in Massachusetts. Care for the Caregiver support services are offered free of charge, focusing on the three most underserved needs of patients and caregivers.
