There are many things I appreciate about QVC.  But, at top of my list is their dedication & support of our viewers through FFANY Shoes on Sale (breast cancer), Super Saturday (ovarian cancer) and Beauty with Benefits (Cancer and Careers).  (FYI - “Cancer and Careers empowers, educates and provides essential tools to people with cancer so that they can thrive in the workplace.”)

But does QVC really “walk the talk”?  I’ll let you decide…

In the 2009 I was asked to join the QVC host team.  3 days before my job began; I was told I had invasive breast cancer.  After processing that “tiny tidbit” of information, I wondered if I would still have a job. The next day, I called my soon-to-be-boss, Jack, and told him the news.  I asked, “What would you like to do?”  His response, “What do you mean?  Are you asking if you still have a job?”  I said, “Yep, that’s what I’m asking.”  He said, “Of course you do.  We want you here.”  Then he said something I will never forget:  “How can I support you?” 

Those were not idle words, either.  I began work that Monday and for the months that followed, they adjusted my schedule around doctor’s appointments, surgery, radiation treatments and more.  (Remember, I was new!  I hadn’t done a thing to contribute to my new employer or warrant such kindness.)  Bottom line: Knowing QVC had my back, gave me the ability to thrive at work and made battling breast cancer a whole lot easier. 

So, what do you think?  Does Q really “walk the talk’?

Unfortunately, there are so many people who aren’t supported & don’t know where to turn when cancer hits.  On Wednesday, April 15^th at 10pm, tune in for QVC & CEW presents “Beauty with Benefits”.  The beauty products you love, and more importantly buy, will benefit “Cancer & Careers”.  And every time you use that blush, that perfume, that skincare you purchased from the show, be reminded that you made a difference!

Lots of Love…Nancy
