There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness,
and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.

How we can help ~

A diagnosis of breast cancer does not have to be a time of darkness and uncertainty - it is our goal to provide a lamp of hope and even joy to illuminate your  path as you journey.  At dorcas  we have several visions of how we want to help and encourage women who are dealing with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Our philosophy is to walk alongside women, both breast cancer patients themselves, as well as the people who care about and for them, by providing information and resources that might otherwise not be possible.

Our resource guide of cancer-related medical providers in the Stillwater, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City areas, as well as providing some hints and tips and general information for you and your loved ones. We are constantly striving to update this list so that it is current and relative. Your input is always welcome! Click here to learn more >

 

 

 

 

Our volunteer program where we seek to partner a breast cancer survivor with someone who can minister to their needs, whatever that might mean. It might be a listening ear or words of encouragement, or it might even be someone to transport them to a doctor's appointment or even a treatment. A surprising number of women go through this journey alone, and that's just not acceptable to us unless it's their personal choice. Or volunteering may just be a way of giving back to women out of their own gratitude, however that has manifested in their lives. Click here to learn more >

 

Our dreams and visions for dorcas encompass a lot of other areas we hope to address in the near future: financial assistance for women needing bras/prosthesis, workshops in journaling, art therapy, nutrition, exercise/relaxation, also ideas for celebrations (end of treatments, hat parties, etc.), gifts, and many more ideas.

 

If you or someone you know could benefit from our help, please let us know. And we also want to know of any needs you've identified that aren't being met anywhere else. Together we believe we can make a difference, and make life with breast  cancer something that you can thrive through, rather than just survive.
