Cancer Angels




My fellow blogger, Leslie, posted about her association with Chemo Angels. She has a cancer patient that was assigned to her and she showed the painting (Leslie does beautiful watercolors) she recently sent to her patient partner. You can read about it on her blog: at http://leslielovinlife.blogspot.com/


Chemo angels is an organization that supports patients going through the cancer treatment process. Anyone can sign up to be a Chemo Angel. Your commitment will be to send a weekly letter a long with some little trinket, art, poem, or whatever you feel so inclined, to the person that is assigned to you. You will receive the person's name, a little bit about them, their family, and their interests through an email once you have signed up. It is your job to make sure that you lift them up and provide encouragement as they go through this difficult process.

Right now that is not a committment I feel I can make but you never know, someone reading this post may - or you may know someone who could. Feel free to pass this on.

  3. What a great idea! I will certainly pass it along. There is someone I know who does a lot of fund raising for cancer research. I have donated jewelry for this cause using pink ribbon beads and hand forged cancer awareness in the shape of the pink ribbons.

  4. That's a great idea. I will be checking it out. It seems like a small thing to do to bring light into someones day.
