Have You Heard??? Pink Hope Edition

The Pink Hope team!

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of doing a boutique photoshoot for the Beyond the Ribbon sponsor of this year's Pretty in Pink Foundation's Walk of Champions. Pink Hope is a post-mastectomy care boutique offering all kinds of services and products for women after they've had a mastectomy.



They were so knowledgeable and it was clear their whole team is dedicated to providing compassionate post-mastectomy care in an intimate and feminine setting.

They are still working to get the word out in the breast cancer community about their services, so I wanted to do my part in spreading the word. I really wish I had known they were around after I had my surgery. If you or someone you know has had or is having a mastectomy, please share Pink Hope with them.

Jada and Sara were so welcoming, explaining what they do and how they help women navigate the post-mastectomy care terrain. I was there to take pictures of 4 of Pretty in Pink's champions that are walking in the show this year. Jada and Sara made us feel right at home. They showed us around the store and pointed out some really great products they carry (like bras with pockets to hold drain bulbs after surgery, prostheses, hats and scarves, bathing suits, t-shirts, and lots of beautiful bras). Sara walked us through how they perform a fitting and showed off their feminine-glam dressing room.

Jeff, the owner, came by and told us about how he, as an amputee himself, opened a prosthetics business (Atlantic Prosthetic Services, right next door to Pink Hope) and started noticing that women had no other choice but to come to a bustling store, with no privacy to get fit for breast prostheses.

With genuine care for what these



women really needed, Jeff decided to branch out and open Pink Hope. Their intimate and beautifully feminine boutique caters to women's needs at a time when women really need a comfortable and caring environment, one that reminds them of how beautifully feminine they still are, even after their breasts (an overpowering symbol of femininity in our culture) are gone.

Bravo to Jeff and his team for being innovative and empathetic! Please help me spread the word about this great store! And don't miss out on the Pink Hope t-shirts! Jeff's trademarked saying is on the back: Let's call it Can'tcer!  Love it!
