Who we are
Latino Cancer Support Group
A refuge of strenght
On September 19, 2014, Marla Vega and María Barrera, co-founders of "Morivivi Latino Cancer Support Groupcreated this group to provide support to Latinas in Philadelphia with a breast cancer diagnosis.
Morivivi became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in February 2019, and since then, it has expanded to provide care and support to all individuals experiencing a diagnosis of any type of cancer.
Our group meets monthly in the Philadelphia community, providing emotional support, health education, and recreational workshops; developing skills that empower each member to improve their quality of life.
Shared Hope
Morivivi provides a space where individuals feel comfortable and safe to share their experiences with cancer in a confidential manner.
The goal of the group is to help cancer patients and survivors understand their diagnosis, take control of their treatment, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Navigators and companions provide support services tailored to the multicultural nature of our community, addressing language barriers that may affect understanding and participation in treatment.
Empower Latino cancer patients through education, counseling, accompaniment, and support within their culture
