While going through chemo treatment it was very uplifting to receive the gifts.What a great distraction and know that kind people like this organization care. Thank you so very much.
I am a volunteer who helped put some articles together to send to a woman who needed a little lift while going thru chemo. I was surprised how each and every volunteer worked so hard at making just the right choices to complete a set that would go to someone they didn't know and would never meet. When I read the letters from the women who received these packages, I sat with tears in my eyes, knowing that I had also been a part of making someone feel better about what they were going thru. THANKS TO CHEMOCESSORIES FOR GIVING ME THIS CHANCE TO HELP OUT.
Chemocessories is just one of those incredible gifts to our world. As a two time cancer survivor I know all too well the difficulty of facing cancer with dignity and self-confidence... that is exactly what Chemocessories does for those facing the difficulties of the disease. By receiving a Chemocessories package, people around the world know they are not alone. I feel so fortunate to live in the in same city as Chemocessories and therefore I am able to volunteer my time and give back when I can. I can also tell you that the leadership of the nonprofit are the most caring, kind, compassionate people I have ever met. Keep up the amazing work... thank you for all that you do!
I'm honored to volunteer for Chemocessories. Knowing that I'm helping women battling cancer, even in a small way, fills me with satisfying purpose and I rest easier at night.....April McIlroy
Nothing compares to the feeling when you read a letter from a recipient of a set from Chemocessories! In that moment, you know you have made a very personal difference in the life of a woman going through treatment and it brings joy and gratitude to your heart.
This is is I Chemoccesorize!! Kudos to Iris Lee Knell for her incredible journey!
I have been volunteering with Chemocessories for 6 years now. I have made sets, addressed envelopes, worked on the website even made jewlery. They are a great organization to work with and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to help out.
Chemocessories is a wonderful organizations. I recieved a beautifully wrapped package with matching hat, scarf, necklace, earring and bracelet. This package put a wonderful smile on my face and gave me a boost of energy to put on some make up and face the world. These small gestures have a huge impact on the mental health of someone like who is living with cancer.
This is an amazing organization that started from first hand experience and finding something that was uplifting and fun. What a gift to others when the founder decided to share her gift with others. I have seen this organization grow from a good idea to a Great Nonprofit!
You don't always realize what an emotional toll Cancer treatment takes on you. I received such a thoughtful gift in the mail. I put the scarf on and walked into the kitchen like usual. My husband said, "Oh, you look pretty!" And for the first time since I started chemo 6 months ago, I actually felt it. Thank you to a wonderful organization.
Chemocessories is a very well-run non-profit. All the accessories (scarves, earrings, necklaces) are donated and 100% of money donated is used for postage and mailing materials. The amazing work of creating sets and mailing out is done by volunteers. More importantly, Chemocessories provides beauty and joy to women when they are at their lowest, dealing with cancer and chemotherapy. Please support this organization with your material and monetary donations!
Sometimes you gave to help a friend in a different way. When I find out a woman I know has cancer. I direct them to this charity become the items they send out are funny, special and useful. It's no fun being sick but it's fun to get a great fun filled package.
Thank you so much for the items they are greatly appreciated during my chemo treatment! Organizations like this really help to lighten the load during this trying time!
I have never written a review before, but I will make an exception because I see the good that Chemocessories has done.
Nearly four years ago, I lost my dear wife after a long bout with cancer and other illnesses. When the cancer was first discovered, she was given chemo with nearly disastrous results. Thankfully, she came home. Of course, she still had a bald head and was fearful for her health and future.
Seeing this situation, Iris from Chemocessories handmade and gave her a headcovering, as well as some earrings. This wonderful gesture lifted her spirits and helped her get through that tough time.
It turned out that my wife was the first recipricant of Chemocessories's charitable service to those afflicted with cancer.
I can not thank Chemocessories enough for their kindness and support to those afflicted. I am a huge fan and supporter.
What a wonderful package to have received!! When you don't have your hair it sure help to accessorize and "spiff" up a bit. Thank you so much!!
When I was diagnosed with a recurrence of triple negative breast cancer, I knew that I would lose my hair once again. While I still have my wig from the first time, it is not very comfortable. I decided to use scarves as head coverings, but I was at a loss on what to put with them. I came across Chemocessories on the web and saw that they offered not only a free scarf, but also matching earrings and bangle bracelets for free! The things they sent me are beautiful, but even better was the care and love put into assembling the package. I felt special at a time when I was physically and emotionally feeling pretty low. The coordinating jewelry gives the scarf feel like a fashionable choice instead of a frumpy head covering. Thank you, Chemocessories!
I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and these ladies really brightened my day when I received a lovely wrapped package with soft, pretty, and very very useful accessories for my new, hairless look. They obviously put a lot of thought into how I could coordinate all of the items to go together in different ways. Thanks so much everyone!
The woman who created this non-profit, Iris Knell, is truly an inspiration. She is not only a survivor but a role model. She does not get paid to run chemocessories, she does it by the goodness of her heart. She truly wants to help others feel good through their treatment and i could not commend her more for that. I wish more people were like her and would dedicate their own time to create something this special all for the benefit of others. I absolutely love her idea and her vision. Thank you Iris, for making a difference in so many of our lives.
Please support this organization and spread the word! The gift package they sent was over the top. It came during my sister's first week of chemo treatment and she loved it. The personalized products - hat, jewelry, scarf, and note from donor were all items tailored for my sister. Chemoaccessories' commitment to making a patient feel loved and supported during this journey is so important to recovery and mental well being. My sister has been very depressed and this helped her know she isn't alone! THANK YOU!
