Help Us to Help Others

So many ways to support us

Our motto “People not Research” reflects Be Uplifted Inc’s values of supporting the women, men and their families who have had their world turned upside down a breast cancer diagnosis.

To meet the growing demand we have expanded our patient support services to include six local hospitals in Brisbane.

If you would like to offer a helping hand, there are so many ways to support us.

Free Crocheted Knockers Pattern

Be Uplifted Inc volunteers create free crocheted breast prostheses in a cup sizes A to DD.

Our Crotched Knockers are a soft and lightweight alternative to silicone prosthesis. They may be used as temporary prostheses while scars are healing or permanently by women who opt not to undergo breast reconstruction and cannot afford expensive permanent silicone prostheses.

Our Values

Our motto “People not Research” reflects our charities’ values. All donations Be Uplifted Inc receives go directly to making a difference in the lives of local Brisbane breast cancer patients.

Our nonprofit charity organisation is staffed by volunteers. We use every donation to help pay for practical and essential support services breast cancer patients need during treatment including medications, medical tests, food, electricity and phone bills, so that families can still be in touch and supportive even if it’s from a long distance.

What people say about Be Uplifted Inc

  • My stage IV breast cancer diagnosis aged 50 was the shock start of a treatment adventure, setting off an array of emotions and uncertainties for my young daughter and I. After inital chemotherapy, I connected with Wendy and the wonderful team at Be Uplifted and have been well supported by them in both financial and practical ways for years. From enabling valuable counselling sessions and arranging hampers to organising regulars group art and zen movement classes to connect with other patients, the team at Be Uplifted care for us in so many thoughtful ways. We are very grateful to the volunteers for their op shop work, handmade quilts, bags and crafts.

  • “ I’m so sorry- I have been meaning to write to you to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for what you and your charity have done. Wendy I am so blown away it has taken some time to process. I understand that I am far from the only woman going through this or has gone through it. I guess I’m stubborn and private and am choosing not to seek out groups for support. But I’m strong. I have support if I choose. Knowing you are there should I choose means so much. Thank you.”

  • “Many, many thanks for the wonderful comfort basket that Peggy delivered to me this morning. These very many thoughtful and carefully selected and/or sewn with love items, as well as the large home sewn quilt were received with so much gratitude and heart felt love. Obviously organised by some ladies who have been on their own journey, and come out the other side. Words of appreciation seem inadequate. But thanks to all volunteers at Be Uplifted”.

  • A HUGE THANK YOU TO BE UPLIFTED.

    I will never forget the day Wendy from Be Uplifted knocked on my door. I had just lost my husband who was the only person in my world, I was so alone. Wendy worked her magic and made everything right again. I do my best to manage myself, but its nice to know you have someone if you really need it. Be Uplifted has helped me financially, socially, mentally. I’m no longer alone. I have met lots of lovely friendly people. I am so Grateful.

  • Be Uplifted helped me a lot during my cancer journey. Wendy, the Founder of Be Uplifted, has always been there to support me during this difficult time. I received free counseling sessions, attended free art and yoga classes, and have been assisted financially. During these classes, I have made new friendships with the other ladies going through Breast cancer. It has been a massive reassurance to know that there is help available for you when needed. I am very grateful for all the assistance that I have received from Be Uplifted. Thank you very much Wendy and all the volunteers from Be Uplifted. I really appreciate all your help!"
