In a recent feature on Millionaire.News, Carolyn Treviño Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of We Are Here, shares how a deeply personal experience became the foundation for a platform that’s changing the way cancer care is delivered.
“We built what we wished we had during treatment.”
— Carolyn Treviño Jenkins, Millionaire.News
As survivors, Carolyn and co-founder Shea Mencel saw firsthand how fragmented, manual, and outdated the cancer support system can be—from binders and spreadsheets to missed financial aid and emotional gaps. That broken reality became the blueprint for something better.
Today, We Are Here equips care teams across hospitals and clinical trials with the tools they need to deliver personalized, proactive support at scale. The platform has:
-
Delivered over $3.5 million in financial assistance to cancer patients
-
Replaced manual workflows with intelligent, predictive software
-
Been recognized by AARP’s AgeTech Collaborative, Techstars Health, and CancerX
-
Proven value to patients, providers, and healthcare systems alike
This is more than health tech—it’s a survivor-led solution to a human problem, designed by the people who’ve lived it.
