the serenity of self care backed by a SISTERHOOD of support. Meet our current recipient!
Self care when it’s most needed
Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury, and it becomes even more important when fighting off disease. With donations from Malas for Tatas, women with breast cancer can prioritize self-care and afford holistic wellness treatments. You can support our efforts by purchasing a prayer mala! 100% of the proceeds from your donation go directly to our current recipient so they can fund holistic self-care treatments.
Our preferred providers offer their services to Malas for Tatas recipients at a 20% discount. We are stepping up to support you through every phase of your process and together, get you back to feeling like yourself again.
a Circle of support to guide you through
Having cancer is expensive. Between the cost of treatment, income lost from taking time off work, and the need for additional childcare, many women feel the financial burden of breast cancer nearly as acutely as the physical pain.
Although many holistic treatments—such as acupuncture, reiki therapy, and massage therapy—can be immensely healing for women dealing with the side effects of cancer treatment, these therapies are not covered by traditional health insurance plans, and most women can’t justify the cost.
our mission
Through the creation and sale of prayer malas, Malas for Tatas helps women with breast cancer afford alternative, holistic treatments that ease uncomfortable symptoms and supplement cancer treatment. Additionally, We aim to provide support, education, and community to our recipients and their families and friends.
Hand Made with love. And you can join the fun.
Gather with friends to create prayer malas at a beading brunch. You and your guests can enjoy snacks, drinks, and each other’s company as you create a beautifully unique mala to be sold at future fundraising events. We provide all the supplies. Guests just have to choose their mala kit, set their intention, and get beading! Once the mala is strung, you’ll give your mala a name, then send it off with love to be hand-knotted and finished with the guru bead and tassel. Your creation will be featured on the Malas for Tatas webpage, social media, and/or at a future fundraising event.
“During breast cancer treatment, I was introduced to the amazing women from Malas for Tatas. I instantly felt their positivity and compassion and I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better since that day. Not only are they incredible women that are so much fun to be around, their mission to help women with breast cancer through holistic treatments provides comfort both physically and mentally - right when you need it most. As one of their recipients, I was able to take advantage of their providers - everything from nutrition to meditation to life coaching. After experiencing something like breast cancer treatment and going through some pretty dark days, having an organization like Malas for Tatas to help me see a glimpse of a better life through those treatments was a life changer. I am forever grateful for everyone associated with Malas for Tatas, from the board members devoting their time making this organization successful, as well as to anyone who has made or purchased a mala or helped out during a beading brunch. I am beyond lucky to be a part of this community!”
