We hope everyone had a good Christmas weekend! We are now preparing for next years bags and are in need of donations.
If you're unable to donate via monetary or Amazon Wishlist you can help your community out by sharing our organization with companies asking for donations.
Below is a generic donation request message that we are asking you to send to companies that you think would make good editions to the care bags.
If you're unable to reach out to companies on our behalf please share our page on Facebook and other social media sites. You can also tag companies on this post or other posts. At the end of the day we need our foundation shared so we can gain more attention from larger companies and donors.

When we pick items for the bags we think of busy activities to stimulate someone's brain and help pass the time. There is a term called chemo brain which causes someone to become forgetful so, puzzles, word games, adult coloring books, or anything that can help with memory and brain function is what we aim for.
We also look for soft large blankets, neck pillows, eye masks, soft ice packs for the bags. The hospital is an uncomfortable environment and these things can help make it a little less uncomfortable for the patient and the family. Often times family members are sleeping on chairs, so they can support their loved ones during their fight. Hospital rooms aren't always the most functional when accommodating family.
We reached out to https://threelollies.com/queasy-products/ already asking for a donation this morning. We always include their products as they are a huge help since treatment can make someone really queasy.
Raising Cane's and Good Day Chocolate was a donor in the past bags and we would love to invite them to participate for next year.

Donation request letter:
I am writing to you today on behalf of The Connor Haddon Coble Foundation (https://tchcf.org/), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and resources to cancer patients and their families. We are reaching out to ask for your support in the form of a donation to help us create cancer patient care bags for those in need.
Cancer treatment can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, and we believe that providing patients with small comforts and necessities can make a big difference in their journey. Our cancer patient care bags are filled with items such as blankets, snacks, books, and other personal care items to help patients feel more comfortable and supported during treatment.
We are grateful for any support you can provide, and we hope that you will consider making a donation to our foundation to help us continue providing these care bags to those in need. Your contribution will make a meaningful impact on the lives of cancer patients and their families.
Thank you for considering this request. We look forward to the possibility of partnering with you to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients.
Sincerely,
The Connor Haddon Coble Foundation
