Does anyone know if the ACS donates breast prothesis and mastectomy bras to women that can't afford to pay the price of the in-store ones. I need to be fitted because i go crazy with trying to stuff various objects in my bra in order to feel complete. Please help!!!!

    Find the ACS organization or chapter nearest you and contact them. I was offered one free bra per year and one 'set' of prostheses, but did not need to accept them. I left them for someone else who could not afford to purchase their own. Maybe YOU will get them. HOPE SO!

    Call you local ACS, ours here does donate to women who can't afford it. I was fortunate that my insurance covered my prosthesis and bras 100% if I was fitted for them at Nordstrom. Good luck.
