About Donate Your Bra For A Cause

How one father is looking to help women restore their dignity after breast cancer surgery

"This wasn't someone else's nightmare...it was my own"

No parent wants to outlive their children, but when it was discovered all three of my daughters were BRCA 1 positive, I had to face the fact this wasn't someone else's nightmare...it was my own.

I watched as each of my daughters underwent mastectomies and saw first hand how their self image was affected. It simply broke my heart.

Feeling helpless was new to me and like any man, I wanted to make all their pain go away. From the ashes of despair came the idea for Donate Your Bra for a Cause, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity that seeks to reshape breast cancer survivors' lives one bra at a time.

WHY WE FUNDRAISE

Won't you help us to reshape women's lives with your donation ?

An estimated 4 MILLION women are abused by their partners in the USA. Nearly 3000 women are killed by their husbands or partners every year. Most leave with only the clothes on their backs. Bras are the most requested clothing and each shelter needs over 100 bras EVERY MONTH from Donate Your Bra For A Cause.

Breast cancer leaves not only physical but emotional scars. Depression, stress and anxiety can all negatively affect a survivor’s outcome. Bras not only help with the healing process but can empower a survivor to return to a normal lifestyle. Help us put beautiful bras on beautiful breast cancer survivors.

We believe a bra can reshape a woman’s life. With the right support, a woman can regain her confidence and power after suffering a devastating change in her life. We provide sports bras, mastectomy bras, prosthesis, wigs and lingerie to breast cancer survivors. We also specialize in hard to find large size bras for those in need. Please help us reshape women’s lives one bra at a time with your generous donation.

Many of the women seeking support and refuge at Maryhouse come from a place of distress; often dealing with issues such as domestic violence, mental illness, evictions, and substance abuse. While underwear is often more readily available, most of the women experiencing homelessness may only have one bra that they continue to wear for well over a year. Most of our bras are donations and women often have to select what is available and they are often ill fitting. A good bra fit can make a woman feel special and lovely. For these women, carrying such tremendous hardships, one good, clean, well fitted bra, can make them feel how we see them – as beautiful, resilient women. Our hope with your help, is that they are reminded that they too deserve the same respect and comfort we give to ourselves. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration to help us care for the thousands of women we serve at Maryhouse.

The passion and commitment of New Life Center is best demonstrated by its mission: ”Saving Lives, Building Futures…Empowering survivors escaping domestic violence.” New Life Center provides a temporary safe haven for families fleeing domestic violence. Our comprehensive 120-day program supports families in starting new lives, free from violence. Often times the families that come to New Life Center come with nothing, but the clothes on their backs. Having help from a charity like, “Donate Your Bra For A Cause” is meeting such a crucial need for our women and teenage girls at New Life Center!

Saint John’s Program for Real Change operates the largest shelter in Sacramento County, and the only one focused exclusively on homeless women and children. Your donation will make a significant impact on the ladies here, We often have a need for undergarments and many don’t have the items or sizes they need. Having proper undergarments helps with confidence and we can’t thank you enough for your generosity.

The Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) is the only organization in Los Angeles focused exclusively on serving and empowering women experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless women. DWC serves up to 200 women daily in our drop in Day Center. They are also able to access emergency and everyday clothing at DWC so undergarments such as bras are a critical item and a crucial need for the women we serve. Donate Your Bra For A Cause plays a key role in ensuring the women at The Downtown Women’s Center get their essential needs met.
