Recent Jacki Recipient Comments

Thank you from my heart, for the kindness and thoughtfulness you have shown to me, a total stranger!

Thank you for this very generous gift of the Jacki. I literally lived in it for the first three weeks after my surgery. Besides being functional I felt ‘dressed’ when I had company. I am forever grateful to you for making my life ‘a little easier’ through this trying time.

…knowing people care has both relaxed & comforted me.

I just wanted to let you know how much receiving the Jacki meant during a very uncertain time in my life. Knowing people/companies cared helped for a speedy recovery.

Thank you so very much for providing the Jacki All Star Shirt. I was very anxious about being prepared for surgery, the drains, and not being able to find the right shirt to fit over everything. What a relief and comfort to be provided this shirt during pre-op. What a wonderful gesture during a
difficult time.

It was so helpful I don’t know what I would have done without it. SO very much appreciated.

I am 44 years old. It gave me great peace of mind, confidence and a desperately needed boost of self esteem at the right time.

The Jacki was a huge help. I had 4 drains and it would have been difficult to dress and travel two hours without the Jacki. It is wonderful to have groups like yours to do the good work you are doing.

Thank you for providing this extra at a time when things can be very confusing and overwhelming.

It is wonderfully constructed and efficient. But more importantly it signifies to me that there is a legion of supporters who care about me and that is
the best gift ever.

I left the hospital with 5 drains. Having your jacket with the ability to put those drains in the pockets was an absolute gift. I cannot tell you how impressed everyone was with this jacket – including my doctors. I only wish everyone who has to undergo this type of surgery could benefit from it.

I have worn my Jacki every day (we do take a few hours now and then for laundry). I appreciate that someone ‘out there’ is thinking of me. Thank you for making the experience of cancer patients a bit better.

During these very difficult times it is important to acknowledge your generosity. Thank you for making the Jacki available.

Thank you for sponsoring the Jacki. It affords women in a very difficult and draining time a little dignity.

In the midst of this uncertain time for me the quiet support from so many sides is amazing and appreciated.

Thanks to the fantastic people and companies involved.      

I just underwent a mastectomy and reconstruction, and received the Jacki All Star Shirt from Faulkner Hospital. It was absolutely the most comfortable and convenient clothing I could have worn. Thank you for your support
of the Jacki.

I received my Jacki from Dr. Pories at Mt Auburn Hospital in Cambridge.  Thank you!! After a bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction I left the hospital with 4 drains. I don’t know what I would have done without this. It is now my turn to ‘pay it forward’.  --  35 yr old breast cancer survivor  

I can’t thank you enough for the Jacki. I recycled it today.
