Hello Comfort with Cancer Supporters,

Since the purchase of 500 Everyday Strength books and customized Comfort with Cancer blankets, I have been busy preparing the items for distribution and finding the means to distribute them. I wrote up an information page ( https://tinyurl.com/comfort-w-cancer-letter), printed 500 copies and stapled one to the inside cover of the each book.

I distributed 75 books and blankets to three local cancer support facilities: Michelle’s Place (a breast cancer resource center), Vantage Radiation/Oncology Center and Temecula Valley Radiation/Oncology Center. I have also given some to my coworkers and students to provide to their loved ones who are battling cancer.  

In January (photo attached), my daughter, Devyn, and I handed nearly 100 books and blankets to patients receiving treatment at UCSD Moores Cancer Center’s Oncology Room and waiting room. We also left 100 books and blankets with the Cancer Resource Room to be given to other patients.  

So far, Comfort with Cancer has fulfilled six special requests for other items – 3 wedge pillows, 1 essential oils diffuser, 1 headphones and 1 bedside table. These items were delivered by Amazon to their homes - all courtesy of Comfort with Cancer! My hope is that many more people will request comfort items! 

Recently Jordan Brady, graphic designer, voluntarily created the Comfort with Cancer website ( https://www.comfortwithcancer.com) and designed my business card. Thank you to Jordan for donating her time and talent. Hopefully the website and the business card will help Comfort with Cancer continue to trend and reach more people who are fighting the disease. 

Please consider sharing the Comfort With Cancer website and this Go Fund Me Page on social media:
