Betty’s Brave & Beautiful Hearts Foundation
Betty’s Brave and Beautiful Hearts Foundation was born from a promise. Rebecca Baker's mother, Betty, was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. A beloved mother and granny, for over a year, she fought for her life. During this time, Rebecca and Betty came to realize that there was a notable lack of support from cancer organizations specifically tailored to address the unique challenges she faced. Despite their longstanding involvement in supporting breast cancer research and participating in fundraisers, it wasn’t until Betty herself became a victim of this terrible disease that they truly understood the absence of direct assistance for patients. This realization struck them deeply, and Betty expressed to Rebecca her idea of creating a foundation that would directly help women during their fight against cancer.
Aiming to fulfill the promise Rebecca made to her mother, Betty’s Brave & Beautiful Hearts Foundation was born. We stand united in our pursuit of making a difference in the lives of women confronting the challenges of breast cancer. Together, we offer not just assistance, but a heartfelt commitment to support, empower, and uplift these brave individuals on their journey towards healing and resilience.
Mission Statement
At Betty’s Brave & Beautiful Hearts Foundation, we are committed to easing the journey of women in Kentucky battling breast cancer. Our foundation, born out of a heartfelt promise between a mother and daughter, and inspired by the courageous spirit of Betty Baker, aims to provide unwavering support to those facing the unique challenges of a breast cancer diagnosis.
Focused on compassion and direct patient assistance, we support women during their journey by providing post-mastectomy care to fill the gap between the medical treatments and procedures patients undergo at the hospital, and what it takes to heal in comfort at home. Every item given by our foundation is hand-selected by our founder, using her personal experience with a double mastectomy and gaining insight from her mother, Betty, as her primary caregiver during her battle with triple-negative breast cancer.
Our mission is to be a beacon of hope, empowering women to face their fight against breast cancer with resilience and dignity. Together, we strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of these brave and beautiful hearts, ensuring that no one walks this path alone.
