We all love getting care packages in the mail — from tasty treats at the holidays to hometown reminders if we’re living far from loved ones. Imagine the delight your loved one with a cancer diagnosis will receive when a package including items they not only want, but actually need, arrives on the doorstep — free of charge! The CareBox Program is an innovative resource for cancer patients going through cancer treatments. The organization places supplies and essential personal-care items, that are not typically covered by insurance items, right in their hands.
How Do CareBox Packages Help Cancer Patients?
When cancer patients are undergoing treatment, they need to keep both their bodies and minds strong to fight off the illness. However, that’s often easier said than done. Treatments like chemotherapy can weaken immunes systems. Many cancer patients worry that exposure to someone with a minor cold could be debilitating, or could even prove deadly. Patients need to be both alert and prepared to fend off sickness. Although many prepare for chemotherapy and cancer treatments, the side effects of many cancer treatments, there are many unexpected adjustments that must be made to their daily routines. To help patients meet those challenges, CareBox delivers free care supplies to cancer patients at home to prevent malnutrition, infections & injuries.
