The Umbrella Project How We Support Women with Breast Cancer

This Is Where Comfort Begins

Healing isn’t just about treatment. It’s about how you sleep after surgery, what’s waiting for you when you walk through the door, and who shows up when you’re too tired to keep going.

Support in Everyday Life

Healing from breast cancer doesn’t just happen in the hospital.

 

Support from The Umbrella Project meets you where you are.  Whether it’s practical care or emotional encouragement, every gesture is designed to bring you relief, dignity, and rest, on your terms.

It happens after surgery, with the right pillow and a recliner, you can actually sleep in.
It happens when a hot meal shows up after a long chemo day.
It happens when someone says, “I’ve been through this too. You’re not alone.”

Who We Walk With & Why We Call Them Warriors

We walk with women who are in the thick of treatment, surgery days, chemo weeks, and long, exhausting recovery.

 

You might be a caregiver, a working mom, or someone who’s always been the strong one. Asking for help might feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable.

 

But here’s the truth:

- You shouldn’t have to prove you’re struggling to receive care.

- You deserve rest. Relief. Someone showing up without being asked.

 

We call you a Warrior, not because you chose this battle, but because you show up. For your family. For your life. For your healing. Even when everything feels heavy.

 

A Warrior isn’t just fighting cancer. She’s figuring out how to keep going through fatigue, fear, and the daily disruptions no one else sees.

 

And like every Warrior, you deserve to be covered with comfort, care, and compassion that meets you right where you are.

 

It’s okay to receive help. That’s why we’re here, to cover you in the moments that matter most.

What Makes Us Different

Real Understanding
We’ve lived through breast cancer, and we know what real support feels like. This work isn’t theoretical, it’s personal.
Focused on Real Needs

You receive comfort items and practical help that insurance often overlooks like recliners, meals, ride assistance, and post-surgical garments.

Space to Rest
 

We create space for you to rest, recover, and be cared for, without guilt or overwhelm.

Support that Fits You

No two Warriors are the same. We take the time to listen, understand, and respond with care that fits her unique journey.

Community the Cares

From volunteers, to donors, to businesses and sponsors, The Umbrella Project is built on people helping people.

All support is provided at no cost, thanks to the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners.

We know many of our Warriors are used to carrying it all. If asking for help feels hard, you’re not alone. Here, it’s safe to receive care not just for you, but for the ones who love you too.

Real Families, Real Impact

“Thank you for helping our mom.”

When Ann was recovering from treatment, The Umbrella Project stepped in to lift a real burden by delivering a warm meal to her and her children. It was more than just pizza, it was a moment of comfort in the midst of a very hard day.

“It was such a small act, but it meant the world to us.” 

Ann, Warrior
