My Nonprofit Reviews

A dear friend of mine received a care package several years ago. It meant so much to her and the monthly cards of hope were very uplifting for her. After her remission, she helped Phil start the Phil's Friends Hope to Hospitals program which I joined with her. We visitied cancer patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital twice per month and handed out care packages and prayed with the patients and visited. The program expanded to inlcude 5 major hospitals in Chicago. I have volunteered also in the Hope Center and after the Crown Point, IN Hope Center was opened I became a Group Leader as well as an Administrative Assistant in the office. I am always amazed at the notes and emails that we receive from our care package recipients thanking us for their package and for the feeling of hope that they also received. Many people are alone on their cancer journey and Phil's Friends lets them know that others care and are praying for them throughout their treatment.

Often, our volunteers go on to become group leaders like myself. I feel that it is the greatest compliment to our organization that our volunteers are so committed to our ministry and vision that they become part of our team.

If you know anyone with cancer, please do not hesitate to order a free care package to be sent to them through our webiste: philsfriends.org.
