Thank you to the local donor that asks at least once a month while running errands "what does Peggy's Closet need"?

If you’ve ever noticed your skin drying out or your nose feeling scratchy while spending time on an inpatient oncology floor, you are definitely not imagining it. Hospital air is notoriously dry, and it is entirely by design for the benefit of the patient's health.

These unscented moisturizing lotions and chopsticks are ideal for bringing some comfort and relief to oncology inpatient's skin.

It’s these quiet, ongoing acts of generosity that sustain Peggy’s Closet to help bring comfort at a time when those need it most.

"If we help just one person, it's all worth it."

Thank you to the thoughtful person who asked if they could drop something off for Peggy's Closet. A super soft and comfortable American flag print blanket for someone who spent their 4th of July holiday on the inpatient oncology floor.

Helping even one person have a moment of comfort while fighting cancer can change their outlook on the day and that can mean everything to them.

Thank you to those that continue to help donate to the Cancer Comfort Collection found at Peggy's Closet at ACI and if you have cancer and are reading this, keep fighting!
