Never Fight Alone Comfort Kit Donation

On May 31st the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope made a donation to the Adams County Cancer Center. The donation consisted of 20 Never Fight Alone Comfort Kits. 

What is a Never Fight Alone Comfort Kit? When Jaymie was sick and going through treatment her body changed and went through a lot. She needed different things to help her be comfortable. We wanted to reach out to women going through treatment to let them know we care about them and are supporting them in their battle. After brainstorming we came up with the idea to donate items to women that were helpful to Jaymie. 

In January, 31 Consultants Natalie Vogel and Jennifer Ralston were able to help us get the bags to use to place the items in. This bag will also be helpful to the women to take things with them to treatment. In each bag we placed dry shampoo to help them feel clean when they are too sick to wash their hair. Facial wipes to help them wipe off when their too sick to shower. Healing lotion as their skin often gets very dry. Chapstick as their lips often dry out as well. A tooth brush with soft bristles, mouthwash, and toothpaste for sensitive mouths as someone going through treatment can get sores in their mouths. It included hand sanitizer as their immune systems are low. Also donated were shampoo, conditioners and body wash. Each bag received water bottles with the slogan " Never Fight Alone". There were mints to help with a dry mouth. And journals for thoughts, questions, and appointments. 

We were able to make our first donation to the Adams County Cancer Center. They welcomed us and our donation with open arms! We got to tour their facility and showed us their new state of the art technology and equipment. It was amazing! We couldn't have picked a better place to make our first donation! 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 31 sales to make this possible. Thank you to all who golfed in the Teal Off to Cancer Golf Outing as the proceeds from the outing made this possible! We could not keep supporting women as they battle cancer and keep fighting Jaymie's battle if it weren't for you! We are thankful for each and everyone of our supporters on a daily basis and we could not tell you how
thankful we are! Thank you everyone for helping us make a difference and letting people know we truly care!
