clients’ success stories
As a volunteer with Miles Perret Cancer Services, my experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was struck by the organization’s unwavering dedication to making a real difference in the lives of local families fighting cancer.
The staff and fellow volunteers are incredibly passionate and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for everyone. I feel so blessed to have the privilege to work with such an amazing organization on various projects that all provide direct support to the MPCS staff and client families.
One of the most impactful aspects of volunteering with Miles Perret Cancer Services is witnessing the tangible results of our collective efforts. The gratitude from families who benefit from the services and programs provided by Miles Perret is truly heartwarming
Miles Perret Cancer Services has supported thousands of cancer patients in Acadiana for over 20 years. In addition to furnishing medical supplies, nutritional supplements and wellness programs at no charge to their patients, they provide care, compassion, and hope to those fighting cancer. It is truly an honor to be a volunteer affiliated with their organization.
I am privileged to be a part of the Miles Perret volunteer group. My granddaughter received services from Miles Perret and the staff was very supportive and understanding. The center has a very profound impact on families in need and the Service Coordinators are very professional and compassionate when helping clients during a very difficult time in their lives. Clients I have spoken with are very appreciative of the services they receive.
After retiring from banking, I turned to Miles Perret Cancer Services to volunteer. I had no idea the scope of assistance the wonderful staff provided to cancer patients. The staff helps patients and their families navigate their way through the treatment phase and recovery. The Wellness Center also plays a big part in the recovery process, both physically and mentally. It is truly gratifying to see the level of care and compassion provided by the team at MPCS.
When my husband was diagnosed with cancer over 10 years ago, I visited Miles Perret Cancer services to obtain material and help. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long enough to receive their services but at that visit I clearly saw the valuable services they were providing to cancer patients. As a volunteer, my absolute appreciation and gratitude for what they do in serving so many battling this disease has made me so aware of how much of a need there is for their services. Volunteering has also given me so much, helping prepare fundraisers has made me feel that I’m giving back and I’m doing something so worthwhile. Miles Perret is truly a remarkable nonprofit organization serving a large part of South Louisiana.
After receiving excellent supportive help from Miles Perret Cancer Services, I decided to volunteer my time there because I truly believed in the program. Now ten years later, I am still volunteering and witnessing its continued positive impact for so many people in need.
As a cancer survivor, and now volunteer for Miles Perret, I can attest firsthand that Miles Perret Cancer Services has a profound impact on many local families in the Acadiana area. MPCS provides many services to their patients as well as the Wellness Center which are critical to the overall wellbeing for patients after a diagnosis.
Miles Perret Cancer Services has had an incredible impact in my life for many years. As a cancer survivor and MPCS client, I have seen firsthand how the services offered through this organization have had a major impact on the community. The Service Coordinators were extremely helpful during my cancer journey and provided much needed comfort and support during this critical time.
Survivor and Volunteer
I started coming to the Miles Perret Center and doing exercise. That’s where I met a core group of dear friends. The things that helped me most were the friendships I made here with other survivors.
Survivor
It was such a blessing to have Miles Perret Cancer Services reach out to our family. As a mom, having a child diagnosed with cancer at four years old, they truly made me feel like there was hope. We are so blessed to have a resource like Miles Perret in the Acadiana community.
Client Mother
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I felt overwhelmed and not sure what direction I was going to take from my recovery with cancer. That’s when Miles Perret cancer Services was there to help and guide me through my difficult time with cancer. They not only offered me supplies that I would need, but also vital information and helpful services from the Wellness Center. It became a place where I could relate to other cancer patients and stay positive and have the courage to persevere and believe that I was not alone with a cancer diagnosis.
