West Valley Hope Sisters

My Hope Bag’s main program is the Hope Sister program and has expanded to the West Valley. This is a group of ladies who, after training, deliver the bags to breast cancer warriors. This is a one-on-one visit at the warrior’s home or a public place. The warrior is allowed to share her journey, and the Hope Sister, most likely a survivor herself, will listen and answer questions as she can. The Hope Sister presents the bag that is mostly handmade comfort items, and will then assess the level of service My Hope Bag can provide.

From its inception, My Hope Bag has covered the East Valley and Central Phoenix. As the need began to rise, My Hope Bag expanded to the West Valley. We want to encourage more Hope Sisters to serve in the West Valley. If you are a breast cancer survivor, or a current or former caregiver, and would like to serve in our West Valley Hope Sister program, please contact info@myhopebag.org. We are also interested in a Coordinator for that area. We would love to share more with you about this program.

Daimler Truck North America Supports My Hope Bag

September 24, 2023

Daimler Truck NA holds a charity event/dinner as part of their Annual Parts Conference. This year, Daimler Truck chose to support My Hope Bag as the honored charity. Daimler’s Sandra Todd told My Hope Bag, “I selected your charity because I love that you put together a Hope Bag for those who are going through breast cancer.  I think it’s amazing that the people who deliver the bags are also breast cancer survivors or caregivers who understand what the person is going through. I love everything about what you are doing to help those through an extremely tough time in their life.”

Sandra continued, “As we are ending the month of September and going into the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, I thought what better way to end the month than to share your organization with our event to help kick off the next month!  My company would like to make a $10,000 donation for My Hope Bag.” Other donations during the evening totaled $ 1,300. Thank you, Daimler, for your generosity.

My Hope Bag shared a little about how it helps men and women with breast cancer.  Having a predominantly male audience allowed us to encourage men to have an annual breast cancer checkup, as well as women. It was great to share that information with over 400 people at the event.  If you want more information about men’s breast cancer, please contact info@myhopebag.org.  Thank you, Daimler Truck NA!
