A Long Island woman has made it her mission to help those battling breast cancer get the right support. jennamdeangelis sat down with a survivor who says with the help nonprofit World of Pink Foundation, she feels like herself again.

"We do have different forms that are lifelike. They move like breast tissue. They feel like breast tissue and they match women's skin tone," founder Christine Guarino said."The pocket really houses the form to go in and give the woman exactly the support that she needs.""Not only for the aesthetics reasons, but most importantly for the body symmetry and balance because the back and the neck are directly affected by loss of breast tissue," Guarino said.

"It has been so overwhelming since COVID because there are so many different aspects of struggle for breast cancer survivors. It's not just the surgery anymore," Guarino said. "It's not easy because I'm not a breast cancer survivor, but I've dedicated my life to being what people call the servant leader. There's no greater feeling in the world when you can make another woman feel good about themselves," she said.
