Warriors calls on community to donate bras and panties to empower women battling cancer
The non-profit organisation will visit a chosen public hospital to support women battling cancer and help make them feel confident and beautiful.
As Mandela Day approaches, Warriors With A Purpose (WWAP), a non-profit organisation, is calling on the community to lend a helping hand to women battling cancer through their Pink Bra project.
Founded by breast cancer survivor Renée Singh in 2022, this project aims to provide bras and panties to women undergoing breast cancer treatment, promoting confidence, self-worth, and hope.
“I have advocated in a public sector hospital, and I was exposed to different races, cultures and dynamics. Through it all, I encountered women feeling less of themselves. Comparing themselves to not feeling fabulous, confident and as a normal woman without being diagnosed with cancer,” says Renée.
She adds that through her journey, she discovered that some women who had undergone mastectomies without reconstruction struggle with confidence. This led to the idea of providing bras with soft cushions (knockers) to help women feel beautiful and confident despite their diagnosis.
Therefore, WWAP will host a cancer awareness campaign on Mandela Day at a chosen public hospital and will feature cancer awareness, education, screening, prevention, hope, and support. The organisation is seeking partners, collaborators, and donors to support this initiative.
You can support by donating bras and panties in different sizes.
