SERVICES

The Foundation aims to promote healing for those diagnosed with breast cancer by addressing their psychological, emotional and spiritual needs throughout this life journey. 

 The very first program organized by the Foundation was a support group for breast cancer survivors.  The group, Sisters In Touch, was organized with 5 breast cancer survivors!    All breast cancer survivors are welcome!

TESTIMONIALS

“Getting a breast cancer diagnosis was quite overwhelming for me, especially because my younger brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just one month before. My surgeon, Dr. Johnny Gibson, told me about the support group, but I didn’t join until after the late Wanda Roberts kept encouraging me to do so.  This group proves the adage that you don’t know what someone is going through until you’ve walked in their shoes.  Being able to talk about having breast cancer and all of its ramifications with others who truly understand is transformational.  Seeing other women who have survived for many years gives hope to those who are newly diagnosed. What I appreciate most about Sisters In Touch is the ability to “touch” those who are newly diagnosed and to be a beacon of hope for them."
