A Healing Space for Breast Cancer Survivors
Empowering women through every step of the journey.

Project Description
Hi, I’m the founder of Embrace Pink, and I created this space because I’ve walked alongside women through their breast cancer journeys—and I saw firsthand how much was missing once a diagnosis was received.
Embrace Pink is more than a center. It’s a movement. We’re building a safe haven for survivors, newly diagnosed women, and caregivers to heal, connect, and reclaim their lives.
But to grow this vision—and reach the women who truly need us—I need your support.
Hospitals are incredible at treating the disease—but when a woman hears, “You have breast cancer,” the emotional trauma begins, and that doesn’t end with her last chemo session.
Too many women are left asking, “Now what?”
That’s where we come in.
At Embrace Pink, we offer the “whole person” care that’s missing from the medical system—through emotional support, creative healing, education, and community. It’s a space to feel safe. Seen. Held.
Each year, over 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S.—and more are surviving than ever before. That’s amazing… but it also means a growing number of women are struggling to process, heal, and move forward.
We’re here to meet that need. And we’re just getting started.
We’re already offering:
💬 Support groups for survivors and caregivers
🧘 Healing workshops like chunky blanket making, journaling, and wellness classes
🩷 A boutique with comfort items and curated gift boxes
🧠 Monthly Education
🤝 Partnerships with hospitals and nonprofits to reach more women early
Every single service is designed with love, dignity, and empowerment at the core.
This next chapter is BIG—and we need your help to make it happen.
Here’s where your dollars will go:
✅ Insurance Contracts & Billing Software
We’re ready to make our services accessible to more women by billing insurance, but that requires expensive software and legal contracts. This step is CRUCIAL to sustainability—and to offering no-cost care to survivors who need it most.
📣 Marketing to Hospitals & Providers
We need to get in front of more hospital systems and oncologists so they can refer women to us as soon as they’re diagnosed. More women will find us—but only if doctors and nurses know we’re here.
🛍️ Care Packages & Programming
We’ll create more care packages for newly diagnosed women and offer expanded programming—like caregiver retreats, art therapy, and trauma-informed wellness.
Because this isn’t just a center. It’s a lifeline.
You’re not just funding a business—you’re fueling hope. You’re showing women that they matter. That they don’t have to face this journey alone.
Your donation helps us:
Provide free and subsidized services for low-income women
Expand our reach to hospitals and underrepresented communities
Launch a billing system so survivors can get support without financial strain
We are survivors. Caregivers. Advocates. And we’re building this with love. Our team, along with incredible partners like My Pink Experience, Bohemian Mama, and Elana’s Blessings, are joined by hospitals like Summa Health, Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Western Reserve, Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons and UH Portage to reach the women who need us most.
If you’ve read this far—thank you. You believe in what we’re doing.
Every dollar you give helps one more woman feel supported, empowered, and seen.
Let’s build a space where survivors don’t just make it through—they thrive.
Let’s show them that healing isn’t just possible—it’s waiting for them, right here at Embrace Pink.
With all my gratitude,
Jilliane
Founder and Breast Cancer Survivor, Embrace Pink
