Breast Cancer Pillow Project
The Moraga Juniors Women's Club will be gathering to stuff pillows for women fighting breast cancer and recovering from mastectomies. These special pillows will be designed to provide comfort and support during a challenging time.
Each pillow will be filled with a unique material in heart shape that conforms to the body, making it perfect for holding under the arm while watching TV, sleeping, or going through chemo treatments.
This project will provide a free pillow to every individual diagnosed with breast cancer in our community. We're proud to make a difference in their recovery journey.
