Little Pink Houses of Hope

YES!

DUE TO THE COVID 19 HEALTH SITUATION, OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, LITTLE PINK IS WORKING HARD TO GUARANTEE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE VACATION EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR FAMILY.  WE ARE OFFERING LIMITED COMMUNAL ACTIVITIES, MEALS, AND PROGRAMMING.  EACH FAMILY WILL RECEIVE A PROPERTY AND A STIPEND FOR FOOD EXPENSES. 

• The requirements to attend are that you must be ambulatory and are currently a patient who has undergone treatment for breast cancer within the past 12 months under the care of a licensed physician.
• Retreats are for breast cancer patients ONLY.
• Retreats are for men and women diagnosed with breast cancer.
• To attend a retreat, participants submit an application and medical clearance from their oncology healthcare team.  The following prioritization is given during the application process:
  • Tier 1:  Applicants who are currently undergoing treatment
  • Tier 2:  Applicants who have finished treatment within the past 6 months
  • Tier 3:  Applicants who have finished treatment within the past 12 months

Yes.

Family attendees include the people living in the home with the participant. We welcome single participants and couples as well as families. Understanding that all families look different and that the cancer journey can change those roles by having a mother or caregiver move in, we want to accommodate those needs.  We will evaluate individual requests, especially those of our single participants. The purpose of our retreats is not to serve as a family reunion for extended family.  Please do not apply if this is your expectation.

• Retreats are offered at no cost. Little Pink provides each participant his/her own property and a stipend for food.
• Travel to, from and during the retreat is the participant’s responsibility. You must have a vehicle during the retreat week.
