Frequently Asked Questions
What is Beyond Basic Needs?
At Beyond Basic Needs, we provide hope to those in need.
For Cancer Warriors undergoing chemotherapy, we provide Chemo Care Kits at no charge to cancer warriors undergoing chemo. We believe these kits inspire, uplift and help our community thrive during this challenging time.
In addition, we connect those in need to the technology that makes it easy to manage and get help for basic services including food delivery, cleaning services, transportation services and other basic needs at no charge to the individual. We believe these services are imperative to improving the quality of life after a medical event.
Our volunteer network spreads awareness and helps those in need utilize the technology to organize support.
What is a Chemo Care Kit?
A Chemo Care Kit is designed for cancer warriors undergoing chemotherapy. Each kit contains a port pillow, compression socks, lip balm, and a variety of goodies that these warriors deserve.
A Port Pillow protects the port from the seat belt.

What is the relationship between Beyond Basic Needs and Give InKind?
Each InKind Page empowers communities to help from anywhere through a Care Calendar, Wishlist, News and Updates, Donations, and more. From the birth of a baby, to the loss of a loved one, to medical crisis, and disasters, Give InKind makes support simple so that no one goes through a big moment alone.
Give InKind is a free platform that generates revenue from partner products throughout the site, the products sold directly, and optional tips from supporters.
For those InKind Pages started through Beyond Basic Needs, there is a revenue share of the optional tips from supporters. We use these funds to further extend our reach and help more people in need.
Is there a fee to use Give InKind?
How can I get help to setup my InKind Page?
Our volunteers can answer any of your questions and help you get started by building an InKind Page.
