Breastfriends

Breastfriends Breastfriends Davao is a breast cancer support group that traces its beginnings to Davao Doctors Hospital (DDH) in 2019. Josephine Foronda as the Team Lead.

Established as part of the hospitalโ€™s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, the group was founded with the clear objective of creating a dedicated support network for breast cancer patients. To bring this vision to life, DDH coordinated closely with their patients, leading to the appointment of the late Ms. Through the dynamism and courage of these cancer warriors, the group has grownโ€”not

just in number, but in strengthโ€”forging close bonds and a sisterhood that fosters a deep sense of belongingness. What makes Breastfriends truly special is how the members uplift one another. They offer support and encouragement while sharing moments of prayer during times of sadness and exhaustion. It is through these shared experiences that they find comfort, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose, embracing a life of resilience and hope. Today, Breastfriends serves as a safe space for breast cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones. United by compassion and empowerment, the group encourages open conversations, celebrates life beyond a diagnosis, and reminds every warrior that they are never alone in their journey. Currently, the community has grown to around 200 members. Together, they carry the "weapon of hope," standing strong as warriors ready to lift each other up and serve as beacons of inspiration to others facing the challenges of this disease

One of the its major programs dedicated to sharing hope, love, and compassion with the community, especially the children preparing for the upcoming school year.

The activity became even more meaningful as the members and volunteers of Breastfriends Davao worked hand in hand to ensure that everything was well-organized and filled with joy for the children and their families.

Free haircut services for the young boys were also provided as part of the outreach activity and BP taking for their parents.

Indeed, the success of this activity was made possible through the unity, dedication, generosity, and love of every Breastfriends Davao member, volunteers, donors, and supporters. More than the school supplies distributed, what truly touched the hearts of the children was the love, hope, care, and inspiration shared with them that day.

A motherโ€™s love is one of the strongest forces in this worldโ€”selfless, enduring, and full of courage.

Today, on Motherโ€™s Day, we honor all mothers, especially the brave women who are battling breast cancer, those in the middle of the fight, and the survivors who continue to inspire us with their strength and resilience.

To every breast cancer patient, warrior, and survivor:
You are seen. You are strong. You are loved.

Your journey is a story of courage, hope, and unwavering faith. May you continue to find strength in every battle and love in every step of your healing.

From your Breastfriends Davao family, Happy Motherโ€™s Day to all the amazing moms. You are our heart, our hope, and our inspiration.

We are deeply grateful to Davao Doctors Hospital for creating and sustaining the Pink Circle Program, a platform that allows breast cancer patients to come together as a support group, gain knowledge, and receive psychosocial care.

As a mental health program, Pink Circle nurtures emotional strength, healing, and empowerment alongside medical care. More than the shirts we proudly wore, the Pink Circle represents unity, courage, and hope, reflecting DDHโ€™s unwavering commitment to holistic cancer care and mental well being.
