Harriet’s Helping Hands

Harriet’s Helping Hands began when the family of Harriet Wulfstat, inspired by her passion for life and helping others, wanted to continue her legacy of supporting people through their experience with pancreatic cancer.

Leaning into their family’s values, Harriet advocated for and launched a patient support program at the University of Chicago. With the support of the Gerald O. Mann Foundation, of which the Wulfstat family are the trustees, Rolfe took over the effort, now called Harriet’s Helping Hands, to expand its “boots on the ground” patient support program. Rolfe has grown the program with connections to all Chicagoland hospitals.

Remembering Harriet Wulfstat

Harriet Wulfstat faced pancreatic cancer with extraordinary strength, determination, and hope. After her diagnosis in 2005, she became a source of encouragement for countless patients and families, sharing her experience and helping others navigate their own journeys.

A dedicated Rolfe volunteer, Board Member, and advocate for patient support, Harriet championed programs that connected people with the care and resources they needed. Her compassion, resilience, and commitment to helping others continue to inspire through Harriet’s Helping Hands, ensuring that patients and families facing pancreatic cancer never have to navigate the disease alone.
