Who we are:

The Tough Warrior Princesses (TWP) provide support, comfort, love and resources to women affected by cancer.  We are a not for profit organization based in Amesbury, MA and serve the north shore of Boston and southern NH.  We have a board of 12 directors and have an ARMY of volunteers.  When we learn of a woman newly diagnosed or facing a cancer recurrence, we arrange through a family member or friend to have a Warrior Basket delivered to them.  The basket is filled with items one may need to get through diagnosis and treatments, items of inspiration and information on resources. We also offer a monthly meeting called Warrior Chats for survivors and their caregivers as a way to connect and get support.  We host many events throughout the year to keep our network connected and supported. 

We all share a common goal of a world without cancer.  A portion of our proceeds go to cancer research.  Until a cure is found, The Tough Warrior Princesses will be here to provide support, love, assistance and comfort to those fighting.

Our most prized item is the TWP Quilt of Hope.  It embodies hope and love.  The quilt was designed and created by Tough Warrior Princess board member Brenda Haskell.  Brenda is a  31 year, 3 time, cancer survivor. Her wish, and that of TWP, is to recognize, honor, and support women diagnosed with cancer. We now have the quilt traveling around for viewing and to honor those fighting and those we have lost.  We have ribbons available for you to add a tribute to your loved one.

If you are interested in having the quilt displayed in your place of employment, please let us know.
