Leaving a Legacy: Christopher Rolin  
 

When Chris Rolin and his wife Debbie moved to Westlake Village in 2000, they were on the lookout for a charity to support as a way of reaching out to their new community. Once Chris learned about CSCVVSB, he joined the Board of Directors and has been an active leader and supporter for the past 13 years.

Have You Heard About Cancer Support Source?  

"It was nice that someone finally asked me questions that were focused on me as a person and less on me as a patient. Throughout my treatment, no one ever felt comfortable enough to ask how the cancer was affecting my relationships. Talking through that burden with the CSC staff made me feel heard for the very first time." -Kathy

We invite you to take our Cancer Support Screening Questionnaire, which will allow you to receive a Personal Care Support Plan with information and resources based on your specific needs.  

 

You can take the questionnaire in your home or at CSCVVSB. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Kaley Moore via email or at 805.379.4777.
