waves of support
Waves of Support members are ambassadors, advocates and philanthropists who leverage their collaborative giving to create impact today and into the future.
A cancer diagnosis sends ripples through every part of life—emotional, financial, and mental—affecting not just the person diagnosed but their loved ones as well. The uncertainty, fear, and anxiety can feel like waves pulling families under, making an already difficult journey even harder to navigate.
At Flatwater, we believe that mental health care is not a privilege—it’s a necessity. That’s why Waves of Support exists: Members of this annual giving program are ambassadors, advocates and philanthropists who leverage their collaborative giving to create impact today and into the future.
Our Mission
Flatwater provides access to mental health therapy in the wake of cancer. We connect individuals with therapists to help clear their mind, heal their body, and find the strength to take on a diagnosis.
Your pledge helps turn the ripples of a cancer diagnosis into a tide of hope. Your commitment brings comfort, peace, and relief to patients and their families when they need it most.
The Hidden Toll of Cancer: Beyond the Diagnosis
Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. hears the words, “You have cancer.” In 2025, more than 2 million families will face this life-changing moment—151,000 in Texas alone.
1 in 3 cancer patients struggles with anxiety, depression, or PTSD—yet most suffer in silence, without the care they need.
73% of cancer patients diagnosed with depression aren’t receiving the support that could ease their burden and help them heal.
Turn fear into strength,
uncertainty into hope,
and make an impact today.

Your Commitment Matters
Therapy isn’t just emotional care—it’s a critical part of healing.
Access to mental health care is often out of reach—high costs and limited availability prevent many from getting the support they need.
Patients who receive mental health support have higher survival rates, better treatment adherence, and an improved quality of life.
We can make a difference together, and your impact makes a real difference. Your commitment directly brings comfort, peace, and relief to patients and their families when they need it most
“Thank you from the bottom of my worn out, beleaguered heart for providing myself and my family with the services that kept us afloat during the most challenging time of our lives. Thank you for giving us a parachute when our lives were in absolute free fall and things felt terrifying. Thank you for knowing that the battle of cancer is as mental and emotional as it is physical and then investing in those aspects of wellness that helped me feel supported as a whole person. ”
