I was diagnosed with breast cancer December 2021. After a partial mastectomy and 4 weeks of radiation in 2022, I am now cancer free! Little pink houses of hope then selected my family and I to attend the Oak Island, NC retreat. I could never express how special that trip was or how I have made friendships with other survivors and Volunstars that I am sure will last a lifetime. This is my way to say thank you to little pink and hopefully give someone else like me the opportunity to attend one of these life changing retreats. Can’t wait to raise money for little Pink thorough Wigging it out for HOPE!

I love to give back to my community, and when asked to help with a Little Pink Houses of Hope retreat in the Grand Haven and Tri-Cities area I said absolutely! Then I was asked to help with 'Wigging Out For HOPE', and I said let's do it!! I'm always up for some fun! Why would I want to wear a pink wig out in public you ask? I'm doing this in memory of my sister-in-law Barb, and all the women I know battling breast cancer. I'm doing this for the men in these women's lives, their children, and extended family members. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to help volunteer, and raise money for this organization that does so much for breast cancer families. They just simply deserve this time with their families, and I want to give it to them. If you see me out and about give me a honk, and if you dare be seen with the lady in PINK... I would love to take a picture with you and me in my wig. I will be showing/selling homes in my wig so don't be alarmed. Everyone that donates will get their name put into a drawing for a Amazon gift card to be drawn at the end of February. If you have $1 or $5 dollars to donate, I will take it. Little Pink Houses of Hope will be grateful for any amount you can donate. Tell your friends! We appreciate you, and your support.

I have a great support network and they have never wavered in giving me strength, courage and commitment to relationships. I love my village!

I am a community advocate for the Grand Haven Retreat, love the cause.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. I was a single mother of 3 beautiful kids. After my treatment and some surgeries we had the opportunity to be a part of a retreat. It was the best week of my life.

In 2015 I became aware of the Little Pink Retreat in Emerald Isle. A family member was going through treatment and I had known several women that had fought the fight. My first thought was this is great; a week's paid vacation! So I got involved. I attended the final dinner of the week and listened to the families talk about their experiences. I knew then this was so much more than a week's vacation. It was a week to not feel alone, a week to shed a few worries, a week to reconnect with family, a week to make new friends, a week to feel hopeful, a week to feel accepted, a week for family members to connect with others having a similar experience, a week of compassion, a week of love. I am so excited as always to support this amazing organization. ASK ME ABOUT LITTLE PINK!

I am a breast cancer survivor. I have been through the surgeries, the treatments of chemo and radiation, and I have watched friends and family go through the same thing. Cancer is an evil that can suck life from even the healthiest of people. I want to raise awareness and funds for others who have been through and are going through this same illness. My hope is that each person who struggles through breast cancer will remember how precious their life is, know they are loved, and remember that cancer does not define them.

This cause is close to my heart. In 2021 my daughter got selected to participate in the Pink Little Houses of Hope retreat. She has metastatic breast cancer. So we were delighted and excited that we could attend and we were not sure what to expect. The experience was terrific. We met others who were going through the same things as my family. Going to the retreat, the children were full of laughter, and families came together for each other. The people affected directly by cancer were able to make new friends and connections. We saw that we were not alone and others were in the same situation. What made this special was that people were willing to donate their time for a family like ours who has a week of not letting cancer bring us down. The volunteer gave selflessly; I want to raise money to allow new families to experience as we did, and I will do what I can to make it happen. I have to thank Little Pink Houses, the volunteers in front and the back end, and the people who donate the houses, so this is possible. God Bless them. Thank you for giving to this cause.

The 'c' word was something I never expected to hear. When I did, it took some time to even be able to say the word cancer. I am a breast cancer thriver and so grateful that my journey allowed me to become a grandma on the day I completed radiation. Having breast cancer taught me that cancer does not define me, I defined my journey. I'm committed to raising breast cancer awareness and the importance of supporting people through their cancer journey and when I heard about Little Pink Houses of Hope I was so impressed with what an incredible gift this is to those with breast cancer I wanted to be a part of this beautiful effort in some way. Going pink will hopefully make people think in a GENEROUS way!

As a survivor, I believe it is important to spread awareness and knowledge of organizations like Little Pink for people to feel connected and empowered! I am honored to help support an environment where many special moments and experiences happen for each family at the week-long retreat. Regardless of your financial status, everyone deserves to have an opportunity to take part in a special bonding week and enjoy a retreat. I look forward to help host activities in the annual Arizona retreat and hope you will join me in helping support this amazing week with monetary, resource, or volunteer contributions.

I am I a current cancer battle. I have Triple negative metastatic breast cancer stage 4c. Currently its in my throat, breast, liver, lymph, blood and areas of my hip and head of femur And along my spine. There needs to be more focus on this type of breast cancer. Its more than a pink ribbon. There is currently no cure. Our ribbon is teal pink and green Hope is all we have. I know God has my back but I need help KEEPING a POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

I'm super excited to be apart of this for the 1st time! I have applied for 3 years now and haven't been chosen yet! My time is coming I just have to be patient!

I was grateful to participate in the Key West retreat in 2014, right after my diagnosis. I was even more grateful to participate as a Volunstar at the Key West retreat in 2022. Both were such amazing experiences, and I want to continue to give back to Little Pink Houses of Hope.

My why is because I feel helpless that 1 in 8 women & men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, including many close friends and family. Millions of people need care and support, Wigging out is so out of my comfort zone, however, there’s nothing comfortable about cancer for no one. Just one takeaway that has stuck with me since being a participant on a LPHOH retreat almost 10 years ago was “YOU'RE NEVER ALONE”. I want to be an example of HOPE and support to others.

In 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was searching for info and resources and stumbled across Little Pink Houses. My family and I got to enjoy a retreat together and met 4 other wonderful families. Little Pink Houses has a great mission and I’m excited to be apart of the alumni and now starting to volunteer. I believe in Little Pink Houses Mission!

In 2020, I was diagnosed a second time with breast cancer. I was completely shocked, lost and afraid. After being diagnosed in 2013 and being told I was cured; I thought that journey was over.Feeling lost, lonely, and completely frightened about what was to come; I decided to apply for Little Pink Houses of Hope. I knew there were alot of applicants and thought the odds were not in my favor to be selected. Lo and behold; I was wrong! I was invited to a seven day retreat with my family to Key West. Little Pink Houses of Hope left no stone unturned as it pertains to accommodations, food, entertainment, activities, respite, and connection with other survivors who I came to love and grow a friendship with. The best part was my family was able to participate as well. I want to pay it forward. Every breast cancer survivor should have this opportunity and with your donation; you will help me reach my goal to make it happen for other survivors and their families.

As a breast cancer survivor, I know the importance of hope! When I learned about Little Pink and was able to experience the love and hope and support first hand, I was beyond amazed! I got a break from the overwhelming downer that cancer can be and provide a little normalcy and hope for myself and my children. I was also able to build my village by meeting other survivors I am still friends with today. My why? I want others to feel to hope!

Cancer does not discriminate. When I found a lump in my breast in July of 2021, it was the beginning of a journey I never dreamed I would have to take. I decided the best way to handle it was with a positive attitude and by doing lots of research. During this quest for information, I found a breast cancer resource page and that was my introduction to Little Pink Houses of Hope. I had a double mastectomy in October of 2021, but my breast cancer journey has been mild compared to other breast cancer patients and survivors I have met. My mission now is to help breast cancer patients navigate this journey. Little Pink Houses of Hope gave me and my husband a life-changing one week retreat, life-long friends, and volunteer opportunities with a foundation we truly believe in. I want to pay it forward and help other families have this amazing experience during a very frightening time in their lives! Please help me meet my fundraising goal and go from PINK hair back to RED! Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity in donating to Little Pink Houses of Hope!

As most of you know, I lost my oldest sister Linda to breast cancer as well as a very close colleague and friend. Now..... a very dear friend of mind just had a double mastectomy. I have been volunteering for Little Pink for 11 years now. Every year that I do, brings on a new experience. I have met so many wonderful moms, husbands and their children. Many I still keep in touch with. I have also made friends with other volunteers over the years as well, as many of us return annually for the retreats. Little Pink gives families a free week long vacation and respite from their cancer treatments and everything else they are dealing with. I love seeing their smiles and the stress disappear as each day goes by. By the end of the week, I see a renewed energy and hope for not only mom but the entire family! Won't you please consider donating to my campaign! Thank you! Pam

I love what this organization does to make a difference in the lives of those who do not have the time to think of themselves. Cancer takes away confidence, energy, drive and self esteem. Little Pink gives those things back and allows families time to be families. I have been a part of this organization for several years and plan on being a part of it as long as they will have me!

Both my mother and my sister are current breast cancer survivors. I also have an employee - Angie and many friends who have or are traveling this breast cancer journey. I have been involved with Little Pink Houses of Hope for several years helping with fundraising, projects with other Allstate Insurance agents in the Triad area of NC. I was fortunate to be asked to serve as a Board Member in 2020 and am currently serving in that capacity now. After seeing the administration and business side of the organization , I was asked to serve as a Volunstar for the 2022 Carolina Beach retreat. This was so special to be actually expeirence being a part of that loving embrace LPHOH offers all the participants. Getting to know the participants, their spouses, and children was very special.

My family was a recipient of a retreat to Key West. This was a fantastic retreat where we were able to be with others that are in a similar journey. In 2022 we lost my wife and i am dedicated to continuing to support Little Pink. I have been a Volunstar on 2 retreats and also support the Ocean City, MD retreat.

My mom died from breast cancer in January of this year (2022). She spent her last and 50th birthday at a Little Pink Houses of Hope retreat in Sedona, AZ. My sister and I were able to spend a few of the days with her there, and the time we were able to relax and make memories will never be forgotten. My mom, Tracy "Gypsy" Beach, was an incredible woman and a fierce advocate for breast cancer research, programs, and support. Even in her final days, she was supporting other woman on a Facebook page- sharing resources, sending them care packages, and encouraging them on their journeys. She never stopped advocating for preventative care, donating money during October to organizations that actually support people, and truly living life. These retreats are exactly what she believes in: time with family, finding joy, focusing on love and life experiences, and prioritizing self-care. I will never, ever forget the wonderful experience Little Pink Houses of Hope gave to her during her last year and I want to continue her legacy by raising money for other families to experience the same.

I have supported Little Pink Houses of Hope since the very beginning when Jeanine approached us at Elon about having a pink football game with our cheerleaders and dance team. Her story made an impression on me and I felt drawn to help this organization ever since. I am amazed at how it has grown and the difference it has made for so many families affected by breast cancer. If you are so inclined, please donate and help me reach my goal of raising at least $1,500 for this amazing cause. Any amount is appreciated!

I am a single mother battling cancer alone. I am feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I am struggling for everything right now.

LPHOH is one of my favorite charitable organizations. I was a recipient of a vacation and it meant so much for our family during a very difficult time. I love that LPHOH demonstrates all the good hearts out there and we all need a reminder there is more good than bad in this world. Doing good makes you feel good and I'm happy to do my part to get more families connected with a LPHOH vacation.

I am supporting Little Pink Houses of Hope because of their mission of providing family retreats in beautiful locations for breast cancer survivors and fighters and their families. No one fights this disease alone - "co-survivors" are fighting as well - to keep up the spirits and strengths of their family members who have been personally touched by breast cancer. I know when I was fighting, my baby girl and my husband were right there, kissing my bald head, holding me and the trash can while I suffered through nausea, praying for me, telling me it would be okay, getting my meds together, helping me with my drains and just being there. It was a scary time. I felt like I saw an alien stranger when I looked in the mirror and wanted to get away from it all. Little Pink made that happen by gifting us with a retreat to the beaches of North Carolina where we were able to connect, participate in family and group activities such as yoga, date night out, etc. The kids connected as well doing paddle boarding and other fun activities. It gave me just enough rest to keep fighting and drew our family closer together. I want that experience for EVERY woman fighting this battle and her family. Raising money for this cause will help make that dream a reality.

Hello, Breast Cancer is familial in my family. All the women on my mom's side of the family have died from breast cancer, including my sister. My mother battled breast cancer simultaneously with my sister and watched my sister die from the disease. My mother lost her mother to the same disease. My mother has survived over 20 years with metastatic breast cancer that spread to most organs. Breast Cancer is a big part of our family.I have had some scares in the last few years. My family is blessed to be part of the Little pink Alumni. We were part of the Oak Island retreat in 2022 and it was a magical experience.
