We are a nonprofit that meets people where they are today on their cancer journey and offer a variety of programs and services designed to provide hope and support to those who need it most. For Cancer Warriors undergoing chemotherapy, we provide Chemo Care Kits. We believe these kits inspire, uplift, and help our community thrive during this challenging time. 100% of all donations to Beyond Basic

Needs go to fulfilling these kits at no cost to the recipient. A Chemo Care Kit is designed for cancer warriors undergoing chemotherapy. Each kit contains a port pillow, comfy socks, lip balm, and a variety of goodies that these warriors deserve. A Port Pillow protects the port from the seat belt. Help us create a better today for cancer warriors undergoing chemo.

Treatment days are long. Patty came home exhausted. Her Chemo Care Kit was waiting at the door because somebody, somewhere, decided her hard day deserved a soft landing.

Thank you for being that somebody.

Someone is starting chemo today. Then someone else tomorrow.

We keep Chemo Care Kits ready so comfort is waiting when they arrive, and our Amazon Wish List is how we keep the shelves stocked. One item from you helps a kit be ready for the next cancer warrior who needs it.

The need is constant. Giving can be too.

Senior centers, retirement community sewing groups, and church craft circles - this one is for you.
Port pillow making is a sit-down, talk-with-friends kind of project, and every pillow goes home with a cancer warrior.
We will send the pattern: https://beyondbasicneeds.org/port-pillow-makers/

We use the word warrior because every person facing cancer is one - in active treatment, in remission, in memory. Sands is reminding us why language matters in our blogs, in our kits, and in our community.

To everyone reading, sharing, and showing up - thank you for using your voice with ours.

Chemo is harsh. The days are long. The side effects are real.
And comfort becomes something you cling to.

On Conversion Zoo, our founder, Rachel Minion, shares why every item in a Chemo Care Kit is chosen with intention.

They seem small until you need them.
Then they become lifelines.

We'll say it plainly: we can't do this without you.

Every port pillow in a Chemo Care Kit was made by hand, by someone who chose to spend their time and fabric on a person they'll likely never meet. There's no version of this where the kits go out full and the makers aren't at the center of it.

So to everyone who's already stitched for the Port Pillow Challenge — thank you. And if you've been meaning to join in, your hands are exactly what this needs.

Every port pillow you sew softens a seatbelt against a chemo port. That is a small thing that makes a hard drive to treatment easier.

Thank you, Madam Sew, and thank you to every maker who stitched one.

Our port pillow program runs year round. If you want to keep sewing, we will keep getting them into the hands of patients who need them.

The good Jan is talking about is you. The donors. The volunteers. The people who share our posts. Cancer can pull a warrior into a dark place. Our community is the light Jan saw.

Thank you for shining.
