Michelle Hawkins
Care Package Recipient
April 1, 2012, Stage 3 Breast Cancer. Aggressive treatment for six months.
November the 2, 2018, Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. Currently undergoing
Chemotherapy.
On April 28, 2020, I was graciously blessed to receive a care package from She Still Smiles, Inc. To have an organization like this who reaches out to those that are fighting or survived cancer is a testimony in itself. Sometimes, there is always another shoulder that is needed when we fall short of faith, pain, and just plain old tiredness. This is one avenue that I have found to be a useful resource.
