Our
Mission
Hope, Help and Education for Families affected by terminal cancer.
Each year, cancer attacks, disrupts and eventually destroys millions of lives. This yearnearly 1.4 million new cases will be diagnosed, with little support available to provide day to day living and basic needs for victims who desperately need it during their time of hardship. By reaching out to patients with a unique combination of financial assistance, supportive console and resources. Beloved serves as a link between the temporary situation of distress and a hopeful, long term situation.
It is our mission to ease the burden on families caring for a loved one with terminal cancer.
At the Beloved, we imagine a world where all terminal patients and their caregivers can spend their final days together without the fear of insurmountable debt and the threat of losing their jobs, and homes in addition to their loved one. A world where cancer caregivers feel supported with resources for their needs.

One Bridal story….
Our staff happen to be downstairs when we saw Brittany here walk up to the door with her Nana they came in looking for a wedding dress. We explain to them how we are a nonprofit bridal shop which provides financial grants for terminal cancer patients and their families through the sale of a wedding dress. Brittney began to cry as she is currently undergoing chemo for her brain cancer. She explained she had struggled with battling cancer since the age of 6. She had another level of appreciation for what we do here and just how much our non profit stands for. She actually has already been married for two years, but she is getting her big dream wedding! We got her in some wedding dresses and ultimately she found the one. Our hearts were extremely touch when she said “I don’t feel like a cancer patient in the dress, I feel like a beautiful bride.” She said yes to her dream dress! She took home a beautiful Romona Keveza and is all ready to walk down that aisle!
