I am blown away by the kindness of the folks at UBCF. They went above and beyond in reaching out to us and making this mattress donation happen. I’m 2 years out from my diagnosis, but the stress really doesn’t go away. I don’t take a good night’s sleep for granted. So thank you to UBCF for your generosity and enhancing my quality of life!

My name is Sarah Smith. I’m 47 years old and I have two children, ages 15 and 11. I am a Spanish teacher and love living in the Colorado mountains! I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in September 2018 and this news came as a complete shock to me and my family. My world was turned upside down on that day and, in the following days as I tried to make sense of everything that I was being told, somebody came to me and told me about the incredible supports in place here in our small mountain valley. One of the organizations that I was introduced to was Tough Enough to Wear Pink (TETWP). I cannot say enough about the deep appreciation I have for TETWP and all of the direction and guidance they have given me thus for to help navigate this new road I find myself on. Their coordination with the United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) to offer my family new mattresses was an incredible gift!! It is hard to put how thankful I am into words. My children and I were sleeping on old, second-hand mattresses that I had obtained for free at different times over the past several years and, while we were okay, having new, clean and comfortable mattresses is a big game changer! With all that we are getting through together, worrying about a comfortable night’s sleep is now not a worry! Thank you TETWP and UBCF!!
