Hopeful Ribbons

I am always accepting items to make care packages. 

When a friend, a loved one, a relative or a co-worker tells you they have cancer you may initially be at a loss for words and yet you want to offer empathy and support. We offer collections of products to reduce and relieve the unpleasant and uncomfortable side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. These gifts will be highly appreciated and will help the cancer patient along his or her journey.

 

According to the American Institute on Domestic Violence, 5.3 million women are abused every year. Those who do manage to flee their abusive environments often have to make a sudden escape - there's no time to pack an overnight bag, or even to grab a toothbrush. Providing care-packages for women who have escaped from domestic violence can make a huge difference to them, for relatively little effort on your part. Good ideas include coloring books, crayons, books, puzzles, blocks, stuffed animals, gift cards, or whatever you think another child would enjoy since he/she had to leave all her favorite items behind.

 

Last, but not least, just simply DONATE. If you don’t have much free time to spend now in your life, but still want to help, donate money and gift cards for many different stores. Donate any old cell phones you have. Your donations will help to change someone's life.
