Our Mission is to extend our hands and hearts to support those needing help battling breast cancer by improving the quality of life for them and their families.

On Friday, January 11, 2008, COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS BREAST CANCER OUTREACH volunteers participated in a moving outreach, literally.

Sissy Blanchard, breast cancer survivor and owner of Sissy Made It! (www.sissymadeit.com) donated a queen size bed, mattresses, ottoman, coffee table and desk to COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS for one of our clients/friends Kelly. Kelly is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer and is the mother of five children, ages 16, 10, 9, 5 and 2. Kelly's oldest daughter needed bedroom furniture, so this was a very timely donation for the family.

With the help of two volunteers' spouses and two of Kelly's neighbors for heavy lifting, three of our volunteers delivered the furniture to Kelly and her family. Thanks to United Church of the Nazarene (www.ucnorlando.org) for providing a covered trailer to transport the furniture.

COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS also presented Kelly with a gift bag with a breast cancer awareness blanket made by breast cancer survivor Linda Robinson, a BP gas gift card, a Target gift card and a breast cancer awareness candle.
