If you received a bag from My Hope Bag, it was no doubt delivered by lovely women we affectionately refer to as Hope Sisters.  These ladies train to share hope and wisdom with warriors recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  They spend time with the bag recipient and let them share what they are experiencing. The Hope Sister is able to give hope through her own experience, the items in the bag, and the Resource Guide that former recipients were able to combine abilities to produce, which is a part of the bag.

My Hope Bag currently has three Hope Sister Coordinators. We cover the East Valley, North and Central Valley, and the West Valley. If you are interested in learning more about this special program including training to become a Hope Sister, please contact sarah@myhopebag.org or info@myhopebag.org

“When I was going through my cancer journey, I requested a Hope bag. A Hope Sister, who was also a breast cancer survivor, visited me and delivered my bag. It was so encouraging to share with her because she knew exactly what I was going through. I knew when she left that when my cancer journey was finally over, I wanted to serve others the way she served and encouraged me. I have been the East Valley Hope Sister Coordinator for two years and have loved encouraging and loving others experiencing their breast cancer journey.”

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and or want to hear more about My Hope Bag’s Hope Sister program, please email info@myhopebag.org for more information.

On April 26, 2024, everyone had a great time. Two sessions allowed more people to participate. Everyone intensely watched their Bingo card while listening carefully for the letter and number they were waiting for. Then, without warning, the room lit up with “BINGO”! It was so exciting!

Many prizes were won which added to the buzz in the room. The two 50/50 raffles were generously donated back to My Hope Bag for its Benevolence fund, aiding with breast cancer patients’ expenses during treatment. Watch for the TWO dates in 2025 when My Hope Bag will once again hold its Bingo for Boobies.
