[Read More...]A Message from the Founder
Have you ever heard of a lopsided showgirl?
I founded My Hope Chest in the fall of 2003, after my own struggles with breast cancer. I was without insurance at the time of my diagnosis, and returned to the Las Vegas stage as a dancer 5 months after chemotherapy -- minus one breast and stuffing my costumes. I waited for over 2 years for reconstruction surgery and realized the HUGE gap that exists for women suffering without insurance.
Many breast cancer Survivors are unable to afford the expensive series of reconstruction surgeries desired to return to a normal life. They are left to live in a horrible state. The end result for some women is a lack of self-esteem, enduring depression and many other debilitating facets; an awful place for a woman to be who has already faced a life-or-death health issue!
Thankfully, there are organizations seeking a cure for the disease. At this time however, My Hope Chest is the ONLY national organization focusing on treatment for UNINSURED SURVIVORS. Many of these women want their breasts back but think they have nowhere to turn for help… That's where My Hope Chest steps in!
Perhaps you've already supported a pink ribbon organization. Thank you! But our mission is different, and we need your help! For those who desire, this is the final step in breast cancer treatment. Our Breast Reconstruction Study and growing Wait List of survivors desiring breast reconstruction has proven a national need. Please help us assist survivors nationwide who are living without one or both breasts get their reconstruction surgery today! Donate Now.
