Can you lend a hand?
You are part of something powerful. We need your help to ensure that others in our cancer community receive support. Together, we can lift each other up and remind every cancer warrior that they are never alone on this journey.
Donate a Chemo Care Kit
Individuals and businesses are the lifelines of our organization. We rely entirely on donations to keep our Chemo Care Kit program running strong.
Each donation of just $25 buys a Chemo Care Kit that contains a port pillow, compression socks, lip balm, and a variety of goodies that these warriors deserve.
Start a Fundraiser
One of the best ways to support our work is by hosting a fundraiser. This can be anything from a Facebook or Instagram fundraiser, a bake sale, or a car wash, and it’s a great way to get your community involved in supporting cancer warriors.
Plus, all the funds raised will go directly towards providing chemo care kits for those in need.
Our Mission
For Cancer Warriors undergoing chemotherapy, we provide Chemo Care Kits. We believe these kits inspire, uplift, and help our community thrive during this challenging time. 100% of all donations to Beyond Basic Needs goes to fulfilling these kits at no cost to the recipient.
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.

A Message From Our Founder
I’m Rachel Minion, the co-founder of Beyond Basic Needs.
I was diagnosed with Cancer of the Appendix seven years ago in my mid-thirties. The minute you hear the word cancer, your life changes in ways only a cancer warrior can describe. Not only did it change for me, but for my entire support network.
After I recovered, I dedicated my life to helping other cancer warriors and friends in my support network.
In our attempt to change the world, my husband and I created Beyond Basic Needs to help our community thrive.
