Tricia's Troops Cancer Connection

Where FAITH is planted...MIRACLES can bloom! Tricia’s Troops Cancer Connection began serving the community in May of 2011. Thank you for your support!

A year earlier, our co-founder and mother of two young children was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at the age of 35 and experienced the great needs associated with battling the disease. Surrounded by a loving system of support from family and friends, she made it her mission to ensure that nobody would have to go through cancer without the same level of support and care that she was fortunate

to receive. Today, the organization helps create and sustain a community of support for people living with and affected by cancer by providing financial assistance to families in need and providing service coordination to help cancer fighters and their families meet their daily living needs. Tricia Wright passed away on April 26, 2012 but her mission continues in the organization she founded.

Can we tell you the story of the "Happy Pill?" In 2023 we did a wig fitting for a tremendously warm, caring and wonderful woman named Sue who left us with some "happy pills," which are plush pills that giggle hilariously when you squeeze their bellies. She wanted to brighten the days of others who would sit in our chair when experiencing hair loss due to chemo.

Fast forward to last week Thursday at our ribbon cutting. That same wonderful woman came to see us out of the blue -- 3 years later -- to return the wig that she gratefully no longer needs, share a hug and to deliver a few more "happy pills."

Fast forward again to today when we had our very first wig appointment for a child. As I thought about what we could have in our room that would be appropriate for a young girl, the first thing I saw was the "happy pill." When I gave it to her she pressed the button, had a good giggle with her sister, and that "happy pill" now has a new home after doing what it was designed to do -- bring a smile when someone needs one most.

Coincidence? I think not. These are the everyday miracles that happen here. Our thanks to you, Sue (Cancer Smiles of Watertown), and everyone who shares love, generosity, kindness and encouragement to make these stories of hope possible.

May God bless this family and all who are on the journey toward healing.

A "Thankful Thursday" message to our supporters from a grateful recipient of our care this summer. This individual received $500 in assistance toward her groceries and gas during cancer treatment and this wouldn't be possible without you!

Today Tricia's Troops Cancer Connection collaborated with Veritas Aromatics for a "DIY Signature Scent Bar Experience" for the participants in our Project Connect surivorship program!

Guided by Beth of Veritas Aromatics (located in the same building as Tricia's Troops) we explored the art and science of essential oil blending. Each person had the opportunity to create and name their own custom scent into a roll-on and we voted on the top 3 of the day.

If you come to our ribbon cutting/open house on August 27th, you'll be able to smell each of the top 3 and vote on the winner that will become the signature scent of Tricia's Troops in honor of our 15th anniversary!

We had a blast with this unique opportunity and encourage you to reach out to Veritas Aromatics to book this type of experience to "design a scent that is uniquely you" for a pre-wedding activity, bachelorette party, team building or any other kind of hands-on memorable experience for a group.
