Project Title: Teen Support Bags
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Teenagers with cancer fall through the cracks between the younger pediatric patient support and the adult support programs. Founder, Nikki, was 17 when she formed the foundation in September 2010 after her own cancer diagnosis earlier that year. <\/p>\n
Her main focus was and still is to help teens feel more supported by receiving our Teen Support Bag with items chosen specifically for teenagers. Each bag contains items such as: journal, adult coloring book, knit cap, water bottle, playing cards, game book, ear buds, stress ball, fuzzy socks, free t-shirt coupon, and more. Each bag costs the foundation $85. <\/p>\n
Our highly popular Teen Support Bag provides inspiration and support for teenagers with all cancers across the country. Currently, we have almost 200 hospitals\/centers in our network that distribute our Teen Support Bags to teenagers in every state. Our Teen Support Bags have been given to almost 12,000 teenagers so far, as of early 2024! <\/p>\n
The positive feedback that we receive from hospital staff and parents, along with the teenagers, is extremely positive. The social workers and Child Life Specialists even tell us that the bag helps patients open up to conversations that they had not be willing to have. <\/p>\n
Your grant will enable us to ship out bags to 50 more teen cancer patients. Thank you!\n<\/p>\n
