"But when this happens to
you - and I think other people would identify with this - suddenly, colors are
brighter. You see everything."

A NEW VISION When Dorcas was founded in 2008, it was with dreams of providing a multi-level support system for women in Payne County who were or had been dealing with breast cancer. Besides providing a comprehensive listing of every possible resource provider in the central Oklahoma area, we had also hoped to implement a volunteer-based support system to provide transportation, financial aid, and emotional support. Now, two years later, we have re-evaluated the needs of our area coupled with a more realistic appraisal of the economic climate as well as what is involved in fund-raising and volunteer recruitment, and have decided to simplify our vision in order to better provide what is so necessary to survival of breast cancer - namely, HOPE! Thus, we will focus primarily on keeping an up-to-date online listing of any known provider of medical and support services, gift items, and other related providers to help ensure that choices when dealing with breast cancer - whether your own diagnosis, or that of someone you love - are made knowing all options possible. So we will continue our HOPE(c) Resource Guide.

As Mo progressed along her journey through breast cancer and the related treatments, she determined to absorb each experience to the fullest, both good and bad, and to find a way somehow to translate those experiences into help for other women who will embark on their own journey. Within three months of completing all treatments for her breast cancer, DORCAS project, inc. became a reality.
DORCAS project, inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, formed under the laws of the State of Oklahoma and the IRS, and all donations are tax deductible.
