YOUR Impact:

The Heart of Mighty Waters:

In 2018, God placed a vision on founder Sheila Tomerlin's heart to create a sanctuary for women navigating cancer—a place where they could pause, breathe, and reclaim their strength. Mighty Waters was born in San Angelo, Texas, as a nonprofit dedicated to providing free weekend retreats for women courageously facing or recovering from cancer.

At Mighty Waters, women are embraced by a community of support, connection, and renewal. Through therapies that address the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—they rediscover hope, resilience, and strength. Each retreat is an intimate, three-day experience limited to 8 participants, providing a warm, personal atmosphere where women can connect, rest, and recharge. Thoughtfully curated activities focus on relaxation, renewal, and overall well-being. While certain experiences are kept as a special surprise, every retreat offers a nurturing environment where women are celebrated, supported, and empowered alongside others who truly understand their journey.

This Giving Tuesday, you can help us fill her cup—bringing hope, healing, and joy to women navigating cancer. Every gift fuels our mission to provide these life-changing retreats at no cost, creating ripples of strength, courage, and renewal. Join us in filling her cup and uplifting women on their journey—because together, we are Mighty.

Addressing the Hidden Challenges of Cancer:

Women navigating cancer face profound challenges that extend far beyond their medical treatment. Over half of cancer survivors report feeling isolated and alone during treatment, while many struggle with unmet spiritual needs, which are linked to higher rates of depression and fatigue. Nearly 60% of working-age survivors experience financial hardship, often delaying care or forgoing medical bills, and women with cancer are six times more likely than men to face relationship strain, including separation or divorce. Mighty Waters exists to address these critical gaps, providing a safe, restorative space where women can connect, recharge, and reclaim their strength, fostering community, emotional support, and renewal during a time when it is needed most.

The Impact of Mighty Waters:

Since 2018, Mighty Waters has created life-changing experiences for women navigating cancer. Through our free weekend retreats, women are able to pause, rest, and reconnect with themselves and others who truly understand their journey. To date, we’ve hosted 17 retreats serving 117 women from 7 states, helping each participant rediscover strength, hope, and resilience. Every retreat offers a safe, nurturing space where women can refill their cup—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—through connection, support, and restorative activities. The ripple effect of these weekends extends far beyond the retreat itself, fostering long-lasting friendships, renewed confidence, and a sense of belonging that empowers women to face the challenges of cancer with renewed courage.
