Help Create our Care Packs, Cushions, & Chemo Bags
Our Group comes together to decorate, paint, personalise and pack around 25 bags at a time. The result is a beautiful and special gift with purchased and donated items including ​ sleep masks, fans, cooling towels, tissues, hand sanitiser, candles, journals with pens, mandala colouring books, and sets with colored pencils and a sharpener in a handmade cloth envelope.
We also include an stress-relief squishy ball, non-slip socks, and non-chemical toiletries. Additionally, we add a hand crocheted “Heart Hug” or “Worry Worm” along with its poem in a small bag.
​
These Care Packs are distributed by our “Visiting Fairies,” a group of members who stay in touch via a chat group. When we hear of a member in need, such as those at GCUH on Tuesdays, we message the group to see who is available to visit. Those who can, offer to deliver the Care Pack in person, spreading kindness and support. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
