My Hope Chest Launches National Survey

My Hope Chest: Breast Reconstruction Survey

There are approximately 226,000 breast cancer survivors* each year, but little to no data on what portion of these women/men wanted, but could not attain breast reconstruction.
The Breast Reconstruction Survey
This survey is focused on the quality of life after surviving breast cancer. The goal is to determine a best estimate of the number of survivors that have lost a breast(s), or portion of, desired reconstruction but are/were unable to attain the surgery.

A Message from the Founder

Alisa Savoretti, FounderHave 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 nearly 3 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.

Every Dollar counts in our mission to make a difference in a breast cancer survivor’s life. Become one of "Hope's Angels" today and give a gift that will last a lifetime!
