My family and I founded My Hope Bag after my own journey with breast cancer. While experiencing my journey, I felt a need for women to receive a bag of hope when experiencing their own journey. It is my heartfelt desire to help answer questions, give comfort, encourage others, and help lighten their load while facing the fight of their life.
My Hope Bag has reached out to more than 2,500 women and their families since its inception. Every bag of HOPE delivered means one more person knows that she is loved and cared about by someone who understands what she is going through. My Hope Bag’s Hope Sister program trains other survivors to be able to reach out to women with a bag of HOPE and comfort.
I have over 40 years of professional experience and have always enjoyed helping others. Being a wife, mother, and grandmother has been the biggest enjoyment of my life. My happy place is with my children, my dog, and my grand dogs. My vision for My Hope Bag is to open a Respite Center so women, and men, can gather with others during their breast cancer journey to hope and heal together.
