About Yoga Warriors Fighting Cancer

Founded by Fox 16 News Anchor Donna Terrell, Yoga Warriors Fighting Cancer (Yoga Warriors) was created in 2014—three years after Donna lost her daughter, Queah (pronounced Quay-ah), to colon cancer.

During her treatment, Queah found peace, strength, and relief through yoga. As her caregiver, Donna also witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of having access to free lodging while traveling for Queah’s care. These powerful experiences inspired her to create Yoga Warriors—to provide comfort, resources, and hope to other cancer survivors and their families.

Yoga Warriors offers: Free yoga scholarships  for patients, survivors, and caregivers and nutritional supplements to promote healing during treatment. For Yoga Scholarship information call 870-541-3225

Introducing the Warrior Lodge at Jefferson Regional

The Warrior Lodge is Yoga Warriors’ newest and most transformative initiative—a no-cost, temporary housing facility for cancer patients from Arkansas’s Delta region receiving treatment at the Jones-Dunklin Cancer Center in Pine Bluff. For many rural patients, the cost and logistics of traveling for chemotherapy and radiation can be overwhelming. Financial strain, lack of transportation, and limited access to healthcare often lead to missed treatments or delayed care.

Warrior Lodge changes that.

By providing free, comfortable housing close to treatment, the Lodge removes these barriers—allowing our cancer guests to focus on healing. The result: better access, fewer disruptions, and improved health outcomes. Developed through a partnership with Jefferson Regional and managed by the Yoga Warriors organization, Warrior Lodge represents our unwavering commitment to compassion, care, and community.
