"Undaunted Me" Cancer Survivor Poem

The "Rainbow Cancer Angel" painting was donated in February 2009 to the Pasco Pinellas Cancer Center (PPCC)in New Port Richey, FL. Johnette Loefgren who was treated at PPCC was inspired to write this poem after seeing the painting and receiving a print from the nursing staff:

Undaunted Me:

I brought my atmosphere of doom

into the crowded waiting room

I hung my head and heaved a sigh

and tried my hardest not to cry.

Then I rose to get a drink

and something made me pause and think

An angel's words rang bright and true

and said what Cancer cannot do

No one told me that before

it opened up another door

to hope and strength and something new

I learned what Cancer cannot do

This in turn stirred up my soul

I'm me inside,untouched and whole

Do your worst ,I'll always be

In life or death,undaunted...ME!


-Johnette Loefgren

Inspirational Healing Art and Loved Ones

Kat & Mark O. said this about our art:

"When a close family member was diagnosed with a terminal illness, DonnaBellas Angels was gracious enough to provide her with an angel print. The print meant so much to Mickey that she kept it close to her on her bedside dresser. When she passed away, her best friend asked to h...ave the print because it remained her of Mickey. DonnaBellas Angels gives hope and life to those who are ill as well as gives hope and life in passing. It helps loved ones of patients to know that they are not alone."

DonnaBellas Angels Partners with Texas Children's Hospital Cancer Care Center

DonnaBellas Angels donated art prints to Texas Children's Hospital Cancer Care Center. The nurses wanted to create a break room area that staff, as well as, potentially patients and their families could go to as an emotionally supportive area. The hope is to give staff a space to go to especially after losing a pediatric patient to cancer.

DonnaBellas Angels has also permitted the TXCCC to use "Colorful Cancer Angel" on a t-shirt that the nurses will sell as a fundraiser.



Texas Children's Cancer Center, world renowned for its work in pediatric cancer and hematology disorders, offers innovative therapies for all forms of childhood cancer and blood disorders. The Cancer Center is working to improve the outcome for all patients afflicted with these diseases.

Introducing DonnaBellas Angels

What if you could help provide hope or peace through art?
This question inspired the creation of DonnaBellas Angels. Our mission is to provide to provide inspirational, healing art to patients and caregivers who are coping with a chronic or terminal illness. Through grants and contributions, we will provide artwork at little or no cost to recipients. Currently, our focus is on cancer support and we will expand in the future.

We hope to donate art to healthcare services providers, as well as to individuals. Original paintings will be donated on a long term loan to hospitals, medical clinics, and wellness centers. In return, the institution simply agrees to display the art in an area accessible to the general public, such as a waiting room or chemotherapy infusion room. These institutions would also receive prints that a staff member, such as a nurse, patient advocate, or chaplain could give to a patient or caregiver. Art is a welcome respite of color for cancer patients especially since many can’t receive flowers due their compromised immune systems.

As one oncology nurse familiar both the struggles of patients and with our art stated:

I think people can support the cause because the cancer angels provide a way to direct good energy to the patient's soul thus helping them or a family member a way to strengthen their souls to continue the battle.
-Ofelia Romero, RNCancer Therapy and Research Center (San Antonio, Texas)

DonnaBellas Angels will also provide prints directly to individuals upon request. Images are available for viewing on the website (www.donnabellasangels.org). The image size is large enough that people can copy and share the image.

In 2008, DonnaBellas Angels helped sponsor the Alpha Omicron Pi (AOII – National Panhellenic Women’s Sorority) Rocky Mountain Alumnae Chapter team with art when they participated in the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life”. The chapter received a banner and dedication cards for their luminarias (used light to the track at night).

We have found many Relay walkers make stops at our tentsite, stopping just to take in the beauty of the different pieces. Then, when they come around the next lap, they've brought someone new with them to see the Angels. We've had many requests for pieces of DonnaBellas Angels artwork. People respond to the message of hope the art provides.
-Julie Hunter-DerbyAOII Rocky Mountain Alumnae President (Fort Collins, CO)
