Our Mission

Giving Indiana women the strength to endure breast cancer treatment by providing individualized services and support.

The I.W.I.N. (Indiana Women In Need) Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to assist women and their families enduring treatment for breast cancer. The I.W.I.N. Foundation strives to be the "neighbor next door" to women throughout Indiana, by helping with everyday needs and emotional support.

A word from Nancy Shepard, the founder of I.W.I.N.;

"My dedication to the fight against breast cancer began several years ago with the diagnosis of breast cancer to a very good friend. It was at that time that I realized the impact treatment had on a woman. Due to the fatiguing nature of chemotherapy and the physical limitations of surgery, I recognized that even the simple things in life now became stressors, such as lifting their child and cleaning the house."

Nancy Shepard, R.N.
