Making Women Whole Again

We fund breast reconstruction surgery.

My Hope Chest is happily celebrating 23 years in breast cancer treatment, providing reconstructive surgery and breast cancer financial assistance for uninsured and underinsured breast cancer survivors.

Our mission picks up where all others leave off, providing the "final step in breast cancer treatment." We are passionate and remain steadfast to closing this healtcare gap, and "filling Cups" for cancer survivors who desire breast reconstrution surgery for their closure.

‍I'm proud of our work and our unique mission, because losing a breast changes your life, getting it back is truly life changing.

A Breast Reconstruction Success Story

Meet Shawn, a My Hope Chest Butterfly

“I feel less and less like a woman every day. First the breast, then my hair, just had a hysterectomy … There is nothing feminine left. Feel hollow and empty.. lost.. don't even know who I am anymore. I definitely don't recognize this person I see in the mirror anymore.”

We know… it’s hard to read the words from Shawn’s application, feeling her defeated and deflated self-image during her breast cancer treatment. The good news, thanks to finding MHC and attaining her desired breast reconstruction, Shawn has been able to find true closure from her disease and has wonderful, renewed sense of dignity and self worth.

Post surgery… “Now I have a good attitude and stay focused on the future. Tissue expanders already helped redeem my self-esteem, I already feel happier. I smile more, happier to be around!”
