YMCA Omaha -- Sara never thought she’d have to ask for help, but both she and her husband were hit hard with medical problems. Then, she was diagnosed with her breast cancer. The illnesses stretched the family’s finances, and that meant fewer opportunities for their kids to have fun. Thanks to United Way donors, the YMCA could offer Sara’s children financial assistance to join in some health and recreational programs. Though the health hardships continue, Sara says “thank you for allowing my family some familiarity and enjoyment in life.”
