Our Mission
Connect volunteer knitters and crocheters with breast cancer survivors to offer free Knitted Knockers to any woman who wants them. There is a huge demand for Knitted Knockers that can’t be met by any one group but together we can do it! If someone in each area will set a goal of meeting the need in just their county it can happen!
Knitted Knockers are special handmade breast prosthesis for women who have undergone mastectomies or other procedures to the breast. Traditional breast prosthetics are usually expensive, heavy, sweaty and uncomfortable. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can’t be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers on the other hand are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them.

Meet some of the wonderful volunteers changing lives...
Meet Gail, Super volunteer since 2016. Not even the devastating lava flows in Hawaii stopped her from caring for others! What a blessing her and her group make to so many in Hawaii!
It’s just retired me knitting away here in Pahoa, HI. I call my “group” Lava You Knitters for the lava river that flowed through my subdivision two years ago. My mother, who also knits, says it has kept her sane over the years. I understand that. I started working for this charity on August 25, 2016. My total orders filled to date is 874.

Thank you for what you do! I was a recipient of a set of these. So appreciated that someone took the time to make them.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I too am a recipient of Knitted Knockers. Words can not explain the joy you all bring to us. When I received mine, I was so excited, I looked at my husband and he said he had not seen me that happy since I was diagnosed. You all are God sent, all of God's blessings to all of you ❤
Thank you for all you do it means so much. 💗

Amazing volunteers making a HUGE difference ❤️
Huge shout out to the newest group listed in our International directory in France! Got this from them: "Hello Barb,
Here is the article published on Ouest France our local newspaper.
Thanks to it we're having local help, new knitters and we're receiving emails from women who'd like to have a knocker.
We're happy with the results!
Advancing step by step, your idea will go nationwide and Europe wide.
God bless you Barb,
All the best,
Mila"
