HELP MAKE CANCER A LITTLE LESS HARD.
Treatment is only part of the cost of breast cancer.
When you're going through breast cancer, there are things you need that may not be covered by insurance.
Wigs. Scarves. Wedge pillows. Scar tape. Special bras and clothing. Transportation to appointments. And dozens of other things that can make treatment, surgery and recovery a little more manageable.
I was fortunate. When I needed something, I had the support and resources to get it.
Not every woman does.
That's what I want Check Your Boobies to help change.
THE LITTLE THINGS AREN'T LITTLE WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS THEM.
WIGS & SCARVES
Helping someone feel a little more like herself.
RECOVERY ITEMS
Wedge pillows, mastectomy pillows and other items that can make recovery more comfortable.
SCAR CARE
Scar tape and other recommended recovery supplies that may not be covered.
POST-SURGERY CLOTHING
Special bras, comfortable clothing and practical items needed after surgery.
TRANSPORTATION
Helping someone get to treatment, surgery or follow-up appointments.
THE THINGS WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF YET
Because every woman's experience and needs are different.
INSURANCE MAY COVER THE TREATMENT. IT DOESN'T COVER EVERYTHING IT TAKES TO GET THROUGH IT.
WHY
THIS MATTERS TO
ME
HELP THE WOMAN COMING BEHIND ME.
Every contribution can help us provide practical support to women going through breast cancer.
I know what breast cancer takes from you. I also know how much the seemingly small things can matter when your entire life has been turned upside down.
A wig isn't just hair.
A ride isn't just transportation.
A wedge pillow isn't just a pillow when you've just had a mastectomy and can't comfortably lie down.
Sometimes helping someone through cancer isn't about doing something enormous.
Sometimes it's simply giving her one less thing to worry about.
