November  update.After 5 years, we decided it is time to close our little project down. 

Hi All 👋

I’d love to thank all of you lovely, amazing, generous Australians that have been faithfully collecting and donating Bras, Breast Prostheses and toiletries items since 2014 ❤️ for FIJI and Africa sisterhood projects.

Also the volunteers over the years have been the backbone of the project’s packing days and working bees 🐝

I wish to formally announce that as at 2019 end, we will be packing up our LAST shipment which will go to Africa & be distributed there to a few places currently being arranged with key people. I kindly request that all donations cease, and until the word gets out we will continue packing up till the end of year.

2020 is a new era & a new chapter to navigate and seasons do come and go in life , that’s the beauty of change & evolving into the new !

I don’t want to list names of helpers and miss anyone !! .....so a huge corporate hug and kiss to you all and you know very well who you are and there would have been nothing achieved if it wasn’t for YOU ALL together !

I am very sad & have agonised over this announcement for quite a while.

Please know We Love You & Thank You all from Our Hearts 🥰

Lily & the Team @ Sisterhood Breast Cancer Project 💓
