Request A Care Package
Are you, or someone you support, in the Southwest Florida and surrounding areas navigating the stormy waters of cancer? Our care packages are loaded with items to assist each sailor with symptoms and bring a little joy, and we customize when we can. Please share your story or the story of the sailor your are requesting a package for as we learn through others that have also sailed through this storm. While our Care Packages are free to cancer patients, thanks to generous donors, we ask that anyone requesting a Care Package for a loved one donate to cover delivery costs.
HURRICANE UPDATE
We were physically impacted by both Hurricane Helene & Hurricane Milton, and have been displaced from our home. In addition to losing our home and personal belongings, we lost almost all of the care package inventory and special event items.
We are not able to process care package requests at this time, and are working diligently to rebuild — both personally and the charity.
We are continuing to offer resources, including connections between Sailors & Survivors. However, we are not able to process care package requests at this time.
We are working diligently to rebuild the charity, and would greatly appreciate any donations you can provide.
Two of our current priorities are:
Rebuilding our care package inventory, in order to begin sending these out to Sailors in need; and
Preparing for our Spring fundraiser in Englewood, FL.
We do not have a timeline just yet for resuming care packages; that will depend on how quickly we can repurchase the items needed to assemble them based on our finances.
We had to cancel our Fall fundraiser in Dunedin, FL due to the hurricanes, and look forward to getting back on-track in April with our Spring fundraiser. Watch our News page for more updates there.
We are working to repurchase all of the inventory necessary for our care packages, and would any financial support you can provide.
