How We Can Help
Gift Cards + Encouragement Notes
Through the community's donations, we can offer financial support to people and families facing a cancer diagnosis through gift cards. We want to be able to help patients and their families relieve financial stress during this difficult time. Our gift cards can range from $250 - $1000 depending on the financial support we are receiving. Treatment impacts every patient financially. A 2011 LIVESTRONG survey found that of cancer survivors surveyed:
62% worried about large bills.
40% had to make financial sacrifices to pay for their treatment.
34% had to borrow money or go into debt to pay for therapy.
Along with gift cards, we have lovely volunteers who enjoy writing encouraging letters to go along with these gift cards. When requesting financial support through a gift card, please leave us details on how we can best encourage you/encourage whomever you applied on behalf of.
Nutritional Resources + Meal Trains
We have networked with a variety of professionals to provide additional resources when it comes to healthy food preparation. Our partners love to help others fuel their bodies with foods that are good for your overall well-being. Nutrition is an important thing to consider when you're getting cancer treatment. The nutrition needs of people with cancer vary from person to person. Your cancer care team can help you identify your nutrition goals and we can plan ways to help you meet them with the support of our nutrional partners. Eating well while youβre being treated for cancer might help you:
Feel better.
Keep up your strength and energy.
Maintain your weight and your bodyβs store of nutrients.
Better tolerate treatment related side effects.
Lower your risk of infection.
Heal and recover faster.
Holiday Baskets
Our Holiday Baskets are extremely popular each year! Before Thanksgiving & Christmas, we raise funds to purchase large, healthy family meals to those who are struggling financially due to their current state of health & treatment. Thankfully, we are also able to follow dietary restrictions. If you want to learn more about how you can help raise funds for holiday meals and/or sign up your family/someone elseβs family for one, click the button below!
Wellness and Grief Gift Baskets
Our non-profit is deeply committed to building wellness and grief gift baskets for cancer patients and their families because we understand the immense emotional and physical toll that cancer can take. We believe that providing thoughtful, comforting gifts can help ease the burden of the journey through cancer treatment and recovery. By creating these baskets, we aim to offer a source of solace, support, and hope during a challenging and difficult time, ultimately spreading love and light in the lives of those affected by cancer.
βThe way the Jet Foundation stepped in and made things happen was simply incredible. It was more than I would have ever expected β especially from folks who were complete strangers, who I can now count as family. The communication and follow-through were outstanding, and the fundraising assistance was absolutely crucial.ββ Jade Apisuk
βThe love and kindness we have received from The Jet Foundation & our community has been absolutely incredible and so touching. They have walked alongside me and been such a tremendous support in every way. I cannot thank Mikaila and everyone at The Jet Foundation enough for all their hard work and dedication to helping cancer patients. It's truly such incredible work you all do! There truly are no words that can capture how you've helped us. Thank you doesn't seem like enough to convey our gratitude.β β Brenda DβOnofrio
