Our Impact

Every Chemo Care Kit. Every Cancer Warrior. Every Step Forward.

Our mission is simple: to remind every cancer warrior that they are not alone. What we do is more than delivering Chemo Care Kits — it is delivering dignity, love, and the unshakable truth that someone out there cares deeply. This is what impact looks like.

By The Numbers

The comfort adds up

Since day one, we have packed each Chemo Care Kit with intention and compassion, to ease the burden of treatment, if only for a moment.

10,000+Cancer warriors supported

100%Of donations go to procuring kit contents and shipping
100%Volunteer-led board

We are not just focused on numbers — we are driven by names, stories, and the real people behind them, each navigating some of the most challenging chapters of their lives.

The Ripple Effect

The ripple effect of a single act of kindness

Our care kits are often the first time a warrior feels seen in a sea of appointments, side effects, and uncertainty. These are not just boxes — they are lifelines. Here are a few of the thank-you notes that have landed in our mailbox.

In Their Words

Hear it from our Chemo Care Kit recipients

Each story fuels our fire. Each donation turns into comfort. Each volunteer becomes part of someone’s healing journey.

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.
Debbie
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!
Marie
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.
Hardie
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.
Tammie
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! 🩷
Angela
I received such an amazing gift at a time it was needed!! What a wonderful and generous program. Thank you so very much!❤️
Deanna
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.
T Lin
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.
Christina
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
Cecely
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
Gina
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!!!
Brittany
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.
Shane
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.
Angela
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.
Stephanie
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.
Stephanie
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.
Sharyl
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.
Diana
Thank you so much. Everything is so thoughtful and will be greatly used. God bless you.
Carol
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.
Tiffany
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.
Lori
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.

Jenn
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.

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!

Lily
I appreciate that you have put this together. It makes me feel less alone. None of us asked to be part of this journey, but it is reassuring to know that there are people like you out there to help make it a little easier. I found your website when I was searching for what I would need for treatment. I was intrigued by the port pillow. It hadn’t even crossed my mind that I would need something like that. Thanks again.
Jan
These kits are incredibly nice! So thankful there are people like you. After breast cancer, I am now facing lung cancer in my left lung. These things are very hard to deal with, but your gifts ease the terror for a while!

Nancy
Thank you for everything you do for women fighting one of their biggest battles. It means so much, and for me personally, I never really sat and processed what it would mean to my family and my mental health if I were ever diagnosed. It’s staggering to me how quickly one phone call changed everything for my family unit and our day-to-day lives. I appreciate you and all the support communities. I have found more kindness and support outside of my medical life (doctors, appointments, nurses, etc) through my support group and organizations such as yours. SO THANK YOU! You are helping women with hope, kindness, and a human touch!
Amy
I am still in active treatment, but I already feel so changed, and you’re right, there isn’t going back. Those words were impactful. I took a screenshot of the blog Cancer Warrior! That is so very true! I really like redefining the language, and warrior encompasses all Cancer fighters. Thank you for the great blogs. They did come at a time when I was feeling despondent and were very helpful.
Sands
I received my chemo care kit from Beyond Basic Needs, and I am extremely grateful. Finding out you have cancer is one of the worst news you could possibly receive. Then, going through treatment takes a big toll on you. This Chemo Care Kit gave me something to look forward to, and opening it made me very happy. Every item given was very thoughtful, from the ginger chews to the port pillow. Thank you guys so much for helping us through this.
Alessandra
Two weeks ago, I was diagnosed with Cancer. I was pretty well in the dumps, as this is the 7th time I’ve had to fight the beast. I signed up for a Chemo Care Kit. It came pretty fast and put a smile on my face! It’s so nice to know folks care.
Debbie
I would like to take a moment and thank all of you from the bottom of my heart and with all my being for the wonderful items that I received in the mail. I wasn’t expecting so many, so you can imagine my wide eyes when I saw all of those lovely items!! I will wear each and every one of them with pride and gratitude. All of the items are just lovely, and I just don’t have adequate words to convey my gratitude. For all the volunteers who donate their precious craft skills and time to making another person’s quality of life a better place, I wish many blessings upon them. Behind the scenes, it takes a person or persons with talented skills to start up, navigate, and continue to maintain a program such as this. So, their hard work does not go unnoticed. Thank you; thank you; thank you!!!
Jennifer

My daughter is 18 years old. She has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She is newly diagnosed and is overwhelmed by chemo and targeted therapy, then she will have radiation and surgery. The treatment is so aggressive and hard on her. Her world has been flipped upside down. A few weeks ago, she had two credits left to graduate. I was looking for something like you do a comfort care package of little things to help her and lift her up.
Kristin
I’m so blessed to have seen this page. Thank you so much for helping out the community.

Julie
I reached out to many organizations looking for any kind of support/advice to help me as I started the breast cancer journey. The only one to reach out was Beyond Basic Needs. They send me a wonderful support package filled with very nice necessary items. They brought me joy in a time of darkness. When I am financially able to donate, I will as I feel this organization truly cares. I have another year and a half to go until my treatments are done and I never realized how expensive cancer treatments are. I hope they work.

Chloe
When you hear you have cancer, everything is going through your mind, and when the doctors are telling you, it’s like it goes in one ear and out the other. Just so much to process, and I still can’t process everything.

I got the care package today for my mom, she loves it! She said she’s been needing lip balm and was thinking about a back scratcher the other day, so she was so happy to see she got those. She’s also been dealing with constipation, she’s on prescription medicine for it, but she’s also gonna try the teabag you sent and see if that helps. The masks are also nice as well, we were in need of those! Everything is very appreciated, and she was happy to see everything she got and asked me to say thank you for her but also thank you from me. Whenever I ask her if she needs anything, she says no, but she was very happy to see the stuff in the care package and said how she’s been wanting that, so thank you for helping and making her happy!
Lexie
I really appreciate what you guys do for all of us.

It is so humbling to reach out to others for help at this trying time, but I am finding myself greatly challenged. I never believed I would find myself in this position, but I am. I believe your donation of a Chemo Care Kit will be quite helpful and uplifting as well.

Wayne
My mom’s diagnosis happened just before Christmas, so everything is very new to us, and I was seeking some hope and community. Thanks again.
Roxy
Thank you for your caring heart in doing these. I was scrolling on Google looking for something that I could put in a cancer basket for my son, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. The website popped up about a free cancer gift and I thought that it would be an encouragement and feel like you are being wrapped in a hug to get one of these. Since I am currently going through cancer, I understand how alone you sometimes feel, especially when you don’t have a lot of friends or family. So I signed up for myself and thought that if I liked it, I would sign up my son. Well, you were very kind to allow me to sign us both up. With the economy the way it is, it can get expensive really quickly when buying a gift to encourage someone you love. Thank you!
Kelli
I requested a kit for my mom who is currently going through cancer, she had just got her port installed last week, and she’ll be starting chemo soon. thank you for everything you do to support the warriors battling cancer, God bless.

It’s nice to know there are people who can relate to the highs and lows of this journey. This really helps!! Thank you!
Kristina
I just got the Chemo Care Kit from Beyond Basic Needs. It has quite a variety of items I’m looking forward to using. It is a well considered kit that has items I wanted to have on hand while undergoing treatment. Thank you! I really appreciate this!
Susan
My wife is still early in her journey. She was diagnosed with HER2+ and is now 2 chemo treatments in. She is only 38 with no family history of cancer, we have 3 children 11, 8, and 5 so our house is wild and crazy at all times. It’s tough seeing her have to struggle and fight the symptoms from chemo but she is strong and we have a lot of support with friends and family. We appreciate all support, help and prayers during this time!
Kaleb
Thank you for contacting me and for sending your care package. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and have had a radical mastectomy. I am now starting my year of chemo and targeted therapy. I have been searching for any help I can. Here in Hawai’i we unfortunately do not have the resources found on the mainland. I also live on a big island which has a much smaller population than Oahu and even less resources, in fact, I currently have already seen three oncologists (and will be on my fourth by the next chemo round) as we cannot keep them on our island due to cost of living and pay wages. I have been searching online for support and was using Google to search for organizations that can help with care packages and found your site. Again I thank you for your time and thoughtfulness.
Coralie
Today has been a bit rough, but you’ve ended it wonderfully! Thank you for all the amazing work that you do! You give us terminal patients a little touch of hope!
Samantha
I’m so appreciative of what you’re doing for your fellow pink sisters. Your story has given me a sense of hope!
Melissa
I am a caregiver for my husband with terminal cancer. He is doing very well right now, for which we are very grateful. I was looking for resources to help myself cope with being a caregiver (going on 4 years now) and came across your website. I thought it might brighten his day to receive this in the mail.
Ruth
Thank you so much – that package was indeed a wonderful pick-me-up. Chemo has been tough- and I have many more to go. The port pillow is amazing- I really needed that so I can properly use the seatbelt. You really nailed it with lip balm and the other goodies. The face masks are still needed, that’s for certain.
Karen
Every package your organization sends is truly making a difference in someone’s life. What you are doing is absolutely amazing, and so very much appreciated. Thank you again for everything you are doing for others.
Stephanie
Thank you very much. I requested the chemo care kit for my son, he is 15 and in treatment. He has brain cancer. I appreciate your support and encouragement.
Kristina
I received my packaged today. Thank you. I love 💕 everything you sent me.
Taylor
God bless you! I can’t begin to describe the timing of this email. I am so inspired by your dedication to helping cancer warriors and I pray that I may become one so that I may help and give back too. Chemotherapy is a battle and by the grace of God, I keep getting up, showing up and will never give up.
Aubrey
Just having you reach out has made me cry. People are so cold and stare at you. This is the loneliest experience I have ever felt. I thank you for reaching out and for the support you are sending me. Nobody tells you about the side effects or how you will start to feel inhuman. I thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Jennifer
Thank you. I so appreciate the Chemo Care Kit. I heard about your organization through a friend of a friend, an acquaintance, and through the cancer survivor chain, a person gets to know as traveling on this journey. Thank you for helping me thrive. Yes, indeed, there are many challenges we face. There are hard days, then really rough days, and some better days. Keep going, never stop, and one foot in front of the other. Keeping hope and positivity.
Diane
Thank you!!!! I found you 1 night when I could not sleep because all kinds of things were going through my head and noticed that you cared for chemo people, so I really thank you. Unfortunately, for chemo and cancer, I’ve lost a lot of friends. I guess it’s just as hard for people to understand what diseases do to people, but I’m still fighting.
Bari
Thank you for doing what you do and supporting all of us from afar.
Francie

Kat
I actually received my package yesterday! Just in time as this week, I had a complication at chemo where my needle backed out of the port and chemo leaked into my chest/arm so the port pillow has come in SO handy today. I want to thank you so much for the package, everything I received was so thoughtful and appreciated. Once I am better I would like to get in contact with you to see how I can help give back. I would love to turn my situation into a positive and help others feel hope!
Melina

Jenny
Just want to say THANK YOU for the kit I received in the mail today; I start chemo on Wednesday so everything is extremely welcome.
Laura
It meant the world to me to receive this care package. This whole process is hard and often very isolating, but finding folks like you helps to create that community of caring to get through it all. That little pillow designed for chemo ports is so helpful to me since I attached it to my seatbelt rather than putting a towel there since the belt rubs against the area of treatment. It’s much softer and makes it easier to drive without friction on my pelvic/stomach area.
Angela
I did receive it! Thank you so much, it definitely made me smile when I was having a rough day. And the port pillow has been very helpful. Thank you again, for everything.
Mickelle

The cushion for the seatbelt is awesome, now I can use the seatbelt normally, everything else is great. Thank you so much, and I hope as soon as my nightmare is over, I can help someone else. I appreciate you.
Abigail

Carrie
I wanted to take the time out to tell you’ll thank you for my care package. I was recently diagnosed in Oct. of 2023 with stage 4 colon cancer. One of the worst times of my life. I’m grateful and really appreciate all that you’ll do to lift those such as myself up. May the Lord continue to pour in your hearts.
