Our survivors and psychologists meet with women with the diagnose and talk about all aspects of life with breast cancer, show videos with important information for patients from leading medical experts. The ladies receive practical advices, ask their questions, as well as receive free of charge informational brochures, turbans, wigs, specialized post-mastectomy bras and post-mastectomy primary prothesis.

Challenge

Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment is a great challenge for women - it follows a period of prolonged isolation, trauma, every day struggle and days spent in pain. In this very moment the women and their family needs a real support of professional psychologists, face-to-face conversation with breast cancer survivors to help them cope with all these changes and challenges however especially in the countryside such services are not available.

Long-Term Impact

We will provide more than 500 breast cancer patients with support and information to accept their condition, rebuild their well-being and improve their quality of life. We will also give their families support and advice. Many of the women we meet under the program become part of our community and benefit from all the other services the foundation offers. It is important for us not just to lend a hand, but to go all the way along with the patient. We need your help to do it!
