Hope Kits for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we should come together to support women affected by breast cancer and raise awareness about this disease. We’ve partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). Together, we are dedicated to supporting their mission of providing early detection services, support, and education to women and families impacted by breast cancer.
House of Lashes' Commitment
Throughout October, House of Lashes will donate 3% of all sales to the NBCF. This means that when you shop with us, you're not just treating yourself to beautiful lashes; you're also joining us in supporting a cause that's close to our hearts and making a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.
About the National Breast Cancer Foundation
Founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor Janelle Hail, the NBCF has been helping women for over 30 years. Its mission is to fill the gaps in cancer care, ensuring that every woman has access to the information needed to navigate her breast cancer journey while emphasizing the importance of early detection. Janelle and NBCF remain dedicated to supporting women worldwide in their breast cancer journey.
HOPE Kits: Bundles of Hope and Support
One of NBCF's incredible initiatives is the creation of HOPE Kits. These kits are tangible expressions of hope, created to provide comfort and encouragement to women undergoing breast cancer treatment. Inside, you'll find items like fuzzy socks, clean beauty products, inspirational bracelets, and educational resources.
House of Lashes has proudly donated 20,000 units of our beloved lashes and liner adhesive for the HOPE Kits. These products are more than makeup; they serve as tools to help women regain a sense of normalcy and feel beautiful as they navigate their breast cancer journey. Together, we're supporting the strength and resilience of these remarkable women.
The Impact of Hope Kits
To give you a glimpse of how impactful HOPE Kits are, we'd like to share a few heartfelt messages from some of the recipients:
“I found myself smiling from ear to ear when I received my HOPE kit. There were things inside the kit I would have never thought to get or ask anyone to get for me. The socks and lashes really made me giggle! I felt like a little girl, receiving a gift. God bless you for making my day-to-day challenge a little easier to contend with.”
“I absolutely love my HOPE Kit. Everything in it is everything I needed or wanted like the eyelashes. I never knew how much I would miss my own eyelashes until they were taken away from me. The Hope kit brought me so much joy. You all are amazing, thank you for the inspiration.”
“I felt so happy to get my HOPE Kit and see the things inside. The past five days my hair began falling out and I have felt so ugly. I wore my wig for the first time to church today and was pleasantly surprised that it made me look good and normal. So seeing items such as false lashes and adhesive brought the same type of feeling. That I can learn to use them and feel normal (if not pretty). Thank you for the day brightener and encouragement to begin my week.”
“I LOVED the HOPE Kit! The package arrived on a day that I wasn’t feeling my best and it really brightened up my day! All of the items were thoughtful because many of them were things that I didn’t think I would need. My favorite item is the eyelashes! (I need to practice!), but finding a pair was on my to-do list. Thank you to those who made it possible for cancer patients to receive these Hope kits and to those who took the time to package them. It means so much!”
“On this journey, it takes a lot to make me smile. The HOPE Kit made me smile and had thoughtful and useful items. The lashes are an item I had been considering purchasing but hadn’t since my diagnosis. Now I am able to try them thanks to you.”
These words show the power of even the smallest gesture of care and support. We are deeply moved and honored to be a part of this journey with the NBCF.
