When a parent receives the news that their child has cancer, they are so overwhelmed they hear very little else that is said during the conversation.  The purpose of these kits is to provide these parents with some tools to help them gain some control (even if it is perceived) over their lives and face their new reality.

The kits contain over 25+ items that Mrs. Blanco found useful during Sofia’s year of treatment and ones she wished had been given to her when Sofia was first diagnosed.  Items include a super soft, plush fleece blanket, games/toys, hand sanitizer products, masks, a journal, pill organizer with pill splitter and crusher, wash cloth with toiletries, hospital cafeteria meal vouchers, a journal and Limitless Medical Logs "Essential Book" to help manage your child's care and much more.

​

​In December, 2018, the Kit will now also include                Be Dreamy pillow mist and Be Sunny

body balm.  Patients and family members can spray this "organic goodness & aromatherapy

joy" on  their pillowcases to help relieve stress and anxiety; easing one into restful sleep or

state of relaxation.  Be Sunny body balm, also made with all organic ingredients, can be used

to gently calm and soothe troubled skin  Both products have been donated by Lissette Monzon,

owner of Lilly Be - Organic, and are a welcome addition to the Kits.  Thank you Lisette!!!
