What People Are Saying About Our Chemo Care Kits

It was really nice to receive this box. It’s a great pick me up when you dont know future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know you didn’t have to do this as you have no idea who I am, but I’m so appreciative.

The items was a huge hit and a welcome to my mom who is fighting Triple Negative Breast Cancer. The socks and electrolyte mix is something that she uses everyday!

Thank you so much for the package. This has been a hard journey and I am thankful for people like Beyond Basic Needs for showing they care. A million times, Thank you.

Hi the care package was for my mom. I’m her caretaker. She has Gallbladder cancer and is receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy. She was so happy with the gift and the surprise. Thank you for letting me share something special and encouraging with my mom.

Every day with cancer it seems to be something, and when a package filled with small creature comforts arrive on your doorstep, it’s such a welcome change! This care package was exceptionally well-curated for things to bring with or to have after treatment! Thank you so much for providing such a comforting gift during hard times! 🩷

I received such an amazing gift at a time it was needed!! What a wonderful and generous program. Thank you so very much!❤️

In a time of uncertainty, this package was truly heartwarming. Your team is amazing, and I am beyond appreciative that strangers I have never met took time out of their lives to send me a small token of hope and compassion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I received the kit and cried knowing someone took the time to make the little pillow and handmade beanie hat. Thank you so much for the care, the time it took to put together each of these chemo care kits. Thank you so much. If I could give everyone a hug, I certainly would thank you for the love and care you show for us, especially those like me who are going through the journey alone. Much love and blessings.

My package came right before one of my procedures feeling emotional and stressed not knowing what to come just a little package of love can change the whole directory of someone’s day who is battling cancer

This kit Brought a much needed smile to my face. Your thoughtfulness lifted my spirits and this kit reminded me that I’m not alone on this journey. My mother had just passed away and I had to start chemo without her by my side. So when the kit came it had things that were so useful for me and I didn’t have to go get it. Such thoughtful items and I loved the port pillow and the message. Thank you again I really appreciate your kindness

I received my chemo care package and couldn’t believe how much they knew me. Everything felt personal and intentional for my cancer journey. I loved everything I received and it made me feel so much love and support. It was the perfect reminder that it takes a village and that there is support out there. Thanks for my care kit and it meant so much to me!!!

Thank you Beyond Basic Needs for being the one company to try and help easy the pain for this man. All others companies said they have no supplies to send as they gave them all away at Christmas.

I recently received a chemo care kit from Beyond Basic Needs, and I can honestly say it was more than just a box of items — it was a box of comfort, thoughtfulness, and love during one of the hardest seasons of my life.
Every item in the kit felt intentionally chosen for someone walking through chemotherapy. From the practical essentials to the small comfort items, it was clear that whoever put this together truly understands what chemo patients experience. When your body feels exhausted and your emotions are all over the place, having simple things that bring relief and care means more than words can express.
What touched me most was the feeling that someone out there sees us — sees the fatigue, the nausea, the discomfort, the strength it takes to show up to treatment — and wants to help lighten the load even in small ways.
If you or someone you love is going through chemotherapy, I highly recommend a Beyond Basic Needs chemo care kit. It’s not just helpful — it’s deeply encouraging. In a season that can feel overwhelming, this kind of support truly matters.
Thank you, Beyond Basic Needs, for supporting patients beyond the basics.

I have to tell you… the moment that got me? The tattoo eyebrows.
I literally laughed out loud. Like… wait, these exist?! How did I not know about this little life hack?
And honestly, that moment of laughter meant everything. Because in the middle of something heavy, finding a reason to smile—that’s medicine too.
Of course my eyebrows are going to go. Of course this season is hard. But something about those little tattoo brows felt empowering… like, okay—we’ve got options, we’ve got humor, we’ve got a little sparkle even in this.
I loved everything in the package, truly. But those? They made my whole day.
My hair will grow back. My eyebrows will grow back. But in the meantime… I’m absolutely going to have some fun with these.
Thank you, Beyond Basic Needs, for creating something that feels so much bigger than a care package. It felt like comfort. It felt like support. It felt like someone out there gets it.
And that means the world to this girl.

Being diagnosed with cancer… it’s one of those moments that just stops you in your tracks. Everything changes, and it can feel overwhelming in ways you can’t fully prepare for.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned already, it’s this—your people matter. Your tribe matters. The ones who show up, who check in, who hold space for you… they make all the difference.
A friend of mine shared that her sister received care packages during her journey, and that’s how I found Beyond Basic Needs. And let me just say… I’m so glad I did.
A package arrived just after my second chemo treatment—right at the exact moment I started losing my hair.
And if you know, you know.
You think you’re ready for it. You’ve been told it’s coming. But then it actually starts happening… and it hits differently. Seeing your hair come out in clumps is a moment.
So when this box showed up right then? It felt like it was sent exactly when I needed it most.
Everything inside was so thoughtful. You can tell it wasn’t just put together—it was felt. Every item had intention behind it.

It’s usually the small things that help someone get through the next hour, the next day, the next few months when going through chemo. These boxes make that difference. Your organization is the true saint.

I just started my journey through this chapter in my life. I was and still am totally unsure of how to maneuver through my new reality but I saw the website for Beyond Basic Needs and visited it to see what insight I could get . Well they provided me with samples of different things to cope with the nausea and keeping hydrated , along with a pillow for my seatbelt to cushion where surgery and port are. I appreciate the donors and the people who put this group together. In a time that women are unsure of basically everything it is awesome that there are such caring individuals out there to help . Thank you for helping me navigate through this you are angels on earth.

Thank you so much. Everything is so thoughtful and will be greatly used. God bless you.

Thank you, I filled out the form and appreciate this all.  Especially since I have little kids this has been very difficult to process and accept. But I won’t let cancer take me from my kids.

Thank you so very much for my care kit! It surely brought a bright light to my day. I’m on Round 8 of my journey, and having this kit arrive lifted my heart and soul. It’s truly nice to know there are folks out there who truly care. From the port pillow to the gingins, to the teas, to socks,eye mask, and scratcher, every item made my heart smile.

Thank you so very much for the bag of goodies I received. I have completed two rounds of chemo treatments and have found the items in your kits to be so helpful to me at this time. May God bless you for your wonderful work and encouragement.

God bless you for all you do for people going through cancer.

Loved my care package. So many useful and helpful gifts that I brought with me to the hospital for my surgery. Every time I use something from the care package, I smile because it reminds me there are still good people doing good things in the world.

I just wanted to tell you that I got your package today. I opened it and brought a smile to my face. Came at a great time. I just had my second infusion yesterday, so it was a very long day. I can use everything in there. Very thoughtful items.

They are great, and their hope kits do wonders and help a lot. Thank you.

The kit that I received has meant so much to me. Thank you for the beautiful gift, and thank you for caring about all of the beautiful ladies who are having to deal with this cancer.

Thank you so much. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for your kindness.

Thank you for all you do to help people like me in our battles.

Wow! Thank you doesn’t even begin to express how grateful I am for your package that arrived today. Each little thing you sent is well thought out and is going to make such a difference in my fight and recovery. It came at the perfect time since tomorrow I am going to be at the doctor’s for a couple of hours. I will be wearing my new socks! I appreciate the words of encouragement you have sent in your emails.
Thank you for your kindness to strangers. It is easy to find yourself in a dark place, but you and your mission help remind me that there is a lot of good in this world. I am very blessed to have received your gift!

I love that organizations like this exist to do something like this. It’s really special and I appreciate your help.
