Non-Mastectomy Kits: Because of the generosity of so many that have supported Pinked Perspective, we have been able to start sending non-Mastectomy kits as well on a limited basis. Depending on the resources available, a non-Mastectomy kit may be provided for those that may not necessarily be undergoing a Mastectomy surgery but perhaps a Lumpectomy or are beginning treatment with chemotherapy and radiation first.
Unfortunately, we are not able to send our kits internationally at this point.
This is not a “free sample” and is for those currently facing Breast Cancer treatment, most specifically an upcoming Mastectomy surgery. Approximate value of a kit is $85. If you wish to request a Breast Cancer Kit for yourself or a loved one, please email us at [email protected]
Pinked Perspective is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all donations are tax-deductible.
Stories of Hope-What Kit Recipients are Saying
“A thank you note will never be sufficient to tell you how much it meant to me to receive a kit. I was so touched. It was like Christmas morning! And a surprise like that lifted my spirits to soaring.”
~Mastectomy Kit Recipient, Alabaster, Alabama
“I just wanted to thank everyone who made this beautiful kit. I received mine today and began crying tears of joy. Knowing that there are such a strong group of supportive individuals made me go from frightful of what is ahead to positive.”
~Mastectomy Kit Recipient, Land O’Lakes, Florida
“I did not want another day to go by without thanking you for the wonderful “package” you left me at my hospital bedside. I have used the book Jesus Calling, every single day (and many times during the day) Your beautiful letter meant so much to me to hear your experiences, as well. I cannot thank you enough and feel like I know you already.”
~Mastectomy Kit Recipient, Annapolis, MD
The comments above are just a few of the responses that we have heard from women who were facing breast cancer surgery and were able to receive one of our Mastectomy Kits because a loved one contacted us and requested it for them. These comments are the reason we are passionate about Pinked Perspective and being able to continue to provide these kits for those being affected by breast cancer.
