Who We Are
Walking alongside you, every step of the way
At Tigerlily Foundation, we believe that no one should ever feel alone while navigating cancer. That’s why we created our Peer Navigation Program, a heart-centered support system grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and lived experience.
We know that healing happens in community, not isolation. Our trained Peer Navigators walk alongside patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers with compassion, not judgment, offering a safe space to ask questions, share fears, and receive support that honors each person’s voice and experience.
Whether someone is newly diagnosed, in treatment, or living into survivorship, we’re here to offer practical tools, gentle check-ins, and emotional support shaped by real understanding. We see the whole person, not just the diagnosis. And we meet people exactly where they are, with open hearts, listening ears, and the deep knowing that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible when we walk together.
Together, we’re not just navigating cancer, we’re transforming what it means to be held, heard, and empowered through it.
We are Here for You
Patients
If you’ve received a diagnosis or are in treatment, you don’t have to face it alone. A Peer Navigator is here to walk beside you, offering clear. information, compassionate guidance, and support that honors your pace, your story, and your voice.
