The Lydia Project

The Mission of The Lydia Project is to serve women facing cancer by providing hand-crafted tote bags, prayer and ongoing emotional support. This support includes ongoing correspondence and encouragement every month for at least twelve months ~ ensuring women and their families are not alone during such a devastating time. Dedicated volunteers serve from all over the nation providing encouragement to women and their families. As a result of Lydia's volunteers, donors, and supporters, women in all 50 states and many other countries have received free supportive services. Lydia provides rent, utility, and prescription assistance to women who are unable to afford these basic expenses while undergoing cancer treatment and who reside in the South Carolina Counties of Aiken and Edgefield, and the Georgia counties of Burke, Columbia, McDuffie and Richmond. Lydia is currently building a"home" that will house 20 women, temporarily, while they receive treatment for cancer. The Daksha Chudgar Lydia House will serve the local CSRA and a two state area.
