What We Do

Cancer Support Services (CSS) Emergency Relief Services

Provides rent, utilities, prescriptions, and medical supplies to oncology patients receiving cancer treatment and unable to afford these treatment expenses and who reside in Georgia’s and South Carolina’s CSRA Counties. Services begin with a physician’s referral.

CSS’s Daksha Chudgar Lydia House

Provides men, women and children fighting cancer with free housing when the Aiken and Augusta area is their best hope for a cure.  Services begin with a physician referral.

CSS Transportation Service

Provides transport to cancer related medical appointments for lodging guests traveling to the CSRA from rural areas and who do not have local transportation. Transportation is also provided to area men and women needing to get to cancer treatment when they have no other way.  Services begin with a physician’s referral.

The CSS Prayer Program

Responds to prayer requests with a weekly prayer meeting and follow-up notes to every cancer provider and caregiver prayed for.  The program includes a weekly electronic prayer report to Volunteers’ homes locally and nationwide.

The CSS Outreach Program

Provides a Correspondence Team who responds to requests for support from cancer fighters and their families.  Individuals receive monthly outreach for at least one year.  Depression, anxieties and isolation can be as challenging as the cancer diagnosis.

CSS’s Lydia Project tote program

Provides a tote purse and monthly outreach to women worldwide fighting GYN, breast, and other type cancers.  

The CSS Volunteer Program

Provides training, service opportunities, and recognition to survivors and men, women, and teenage supporters wanting to give their time to those CSS serves.
