Our Mission
We believe every woman deserves access to this simple gift of comfort and dignity. The need is greater than any one group can meet alone — but when individuals and communities each care for the survivors in their own counties, together we can reach every woman who needs us.
What is a knitted knocker?
A knitted knocker is a soft, handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Traditional silicone prosthetics can be hot, heavy, and sticky — and many can’t be worn until weeks after surgery.
Knitted knockers are different. Placed in a regular bra, they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They’re lightweight, adjustable, washable — they can even go swimming with you. Each one is handmade with love by a volunteer knitter or crocheter, and every knocker is completely free to any woman who needs one.
A caring community, around the world

Making a Difference in Patient Confidence and Comfort. 🏥
There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing that what we do is truly making a difference! Every knitted knocker represents more than a handmade gift—it represents comfort, confidence, and the reminder that someone cares. Recently, we received some beautiful feedback from Dr. Clark-Paul with Breast Care and Surgery at McLaren Port Huron Hospital, and we couldn’t wait to share it with you!
"Our patients love your product! We consistently receive positive feedback about how soft and lightweight they are; many prefer them to heavier alternatives.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to your foundation for the incredible work you do. It is inspiring to witness the positive impact your products have on our patients. Thank you for providing such a valuable resource to those in need! It has a profound impact on their confidence and makes them feel heard and seen."
What a beautiful reminder that what our volunteers create is about so much more than a knitted or crocheted prosthesis. It’s about helping someone feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Thank you to everyone whose hands and hearts make this possible! 🫶🏼🩷
