Today Sweet Buffalo was honored to donate close to 50 Hope Totes to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center with more to come. 🩷

We are told that around 30 people are diagnosed with breast cancer a week at Roswell so these Hope Totes will help them know they aren't alone.

Each Hope Tote comes with a binder to put in all medical notes and information, a blanket, slippers, a Hope Journal, coloring book and colored pencils, and a personalized letter from the founders of Hope Totes.

This is all put together in a beautiful, high quality tote so it is easily accessible on treatment days and simple for travel.

An anonymous donor donated $10,000 for this special gift to help breast cancer patients and we are forever grateful.

Thank you to the amazing Roswell Park Breast Clinic staff for helping us get these totes to those who need them most.

For 28 hours, our city of good neighbors comes together to make an incredible impact and we’d be honored if Hope Totes was part of your giving. 💗

Every Hope Tote is filled with comfort, practical essentials, and a reminder that no one has to face a medical crisis alone.

Because of supporters like you, we’ve been able to provide 4,000 Hope Totes to patients and caregivers throughout Western New York. But the need continues, and every donation- large or small- helps us reach another family.

🗓 Give 716 begins:
July 15 at 7:16 PM
⏰ Ends:

Every gift matters. Every share helps. Every Hope Tote reminds someone they’re not alone.

Together, let’s show Western New York what hope looks like. 💗

Aunt Sue’s connection to this work runs deep. As the aunt of Colleen, co-founder of Hope Totes, Sue has been personally inspired by the compassionate care her family continues to receive at Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo, where Colleen’s son Jack is treated. Born and raised in Buffalo, a lifelong Bills fan, and a limited partner with the Buffalo Bills, Sue’s generosity reflects both her deep love for this community and her unwavering commitment to supporting children and families when they need it most. 💗
