Cancer de Mama Clinic in La Penita Mexico

Volunteer

The Cancer de Mama Clinic is growing with leaps and bounds. And help from a community of loving and giving volunteers.

What can I do to help?

History: KINDNESS IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

The club house at the La Penita RV Park was transformed into a clinic with eight private cubicles, decorated to help the women feel comfortable and safe. Language and cultural barriers disappear as women reached out to each other with heartfelt caring and concern for the ordeal they have faced. These women came in buses, by van, or on foot. The mood is somber as they enter La Penita RV Park. They come from all over the State of Nayarit, many bearing signs of recent chemotherapy, all seeking a chance to regain their femininity and self esteem through the generous efforts of key seasonal United State, Canadian residents and dozens of international volunteers who make Nayarit their home for the winter season. One volunteer sums up the gift that the volunteers receive in return for their long hours: “We all arrive as strangers but each woman leaves as a friend.”

These women, breast cancer survivors, leave the free clinic with tears and shy smiles after being fitted with prostheses and brassieres that restore their appearance and dignity.

What we have found are there are a lot of ladies that want to help …so here is the list of things that we can do to help
