♦ encouragement you can hold
A little hope can mean so much when life suddenly changes.
When a woman is navigating cancer, sometimes the smallest reminder that someone is thinking of her can make a hard day feel a little less lonely.
Navigating with Hope provides thoughtfully prepared Encouragement Care Boxes with practical comfort and encouragement - a simple way to remind a woman navigating cancer that she is thought of, supported, and not alone.
FOR THE ONE NAVIGATING CANCER
Cancer can change so much, so quickly.
Appointments. Decisions. Treatments. Waiting. And all the emotions that come in between.
We want to place a little encouragement in her hands and remind her-
You are seen.
You are valued.
You are not alone.
FOR THE ONE WHO WANTS TO HELP
Sometimes someone you care about is facing cancer and you simply don't know what to say or what to do.
That's okay.
We make it simple to send something meaningful—a thoughtful reminder that says:
I'm thinking about you. I'm here. You don't have to walk through this alone.
♦ OUR MISSION
Hope and Encouragement for the journey. One step at a time.
Our mission is to come alongside women navigating cancer with meaningful encouragement, practical comfort, and compassionate support—helping them find hope and encouragement for the journey, one step at a time.
A cancer diagnosis can rearrange life in ways others don't always see. There are appointments and treatments, but there are also the quiet moments in between—the waiting, uncertainty, exhaustion, and days when a woman simply needs to know someone remembers.
Navigating with Hope exists for those moments.
We want every woman we serve to know:
Someone sees you. Someone cares. You are not walking this journey alone.
What's inside an Encouragement Care Box?
Each box is filled with practical comfort items and heartfelt encouragement - a thoughtful reminder that someone sees her, cares about her,and is thinking for her.
PRACTICAL COMFORT ITEMS

A REMINDER YOU MATTER
Together we can surround women with hope and remind them they are never alone in this journey.
Who It's for?
Starting with women navigating breast cancer.
As we launch the Encouragement Care Box Program, our first year will focus on supporting women facing breast cancer.
An Encouragement Care Box may be requested for a woman who:
• Has been diagnosed with breast cancer within the past 12 months, or
• Is currently undergoing active treatment for breast cancer
What do we mean by active treatment?
Active treatment generally includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, cancer-related surgery, or the immediate recovery period following cancer-related surgery.
Long-term maintenance therapies following completion of primary treatment are generally not considered active treatment for program eligibility.
Not sure if you qualify? Please reach out. We'd be happy to help.
As our funding and resources grow, we hope to expand the Encouragement Care Box Program to women facing other types of cancer.
One box. One woman. One reminder that she is not walking this journey alone.
Encouragement Care Boxes are provided at no cost and are subject to program eligibility, available funding, donations, and inventory.
♦ HOW IT WORKS
A simple request.
A meaningful reminder.
♦
STEP 01
Tell us about Her
Request a box for yourself or for a woman you care about.
We'll ask for just a few details to help us determine eligibility and prepare her box.
There is no cost to request or receive an Encouragement Care Box.
♦
STEP 02
We pack it by hand
Her Encouragement Care Box is thoughtfully assembled with practical comfort items, encouraging resources, and donated or sponsored gifts selected with care.
Then we add something especially for her—a personal reminder that someone is thinking about her.
♦
STEP 03
Encouragement arrives at her door
Then, perhaps on an ordinary day in the middle of an extraordinary season, a box arrives with her name on it.
Not because a box can change what she's facing.
But because encouragement can remind her that she doesn't have to face it feeling alone.
♦ WAYS TO HELP
Help us put encouragement into her hands.
Navigating with Hope grows through people who believe that small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference.
Whether you give, sponsor items, refer a woman, volunteer, or simply help others discover our mission, you become part of bringing hope along the way.
GIVE
Help us reach the next woman.
Every gift goes toward filling and delivering the next box. Give once, or become a monthly partner and send hope all year.
SPONSOR
Put something meaningful inside her box.
Businesses, organizations, and community partners can sponsor complete Encouragement Care Boxes or donate appropriate new products such as blankets, journals, comfort items, personal-care products, gift cards, and other thoughtful items.
PARTNER
Help us reach the women who need encouragement.
Nurse navigators, oncology social workers, cancer organizations, churches, community groups, and other partners often meet women during some of the hardest moments of their journey.
We'd love to make it easy for you to connect eligible women with Navigating with Hope.
"
Encouragement doesn't have to be complicated.
Sometimes it's a box at the door.
A handwritten note.
A reminder that someone remembered.
A little hope arriving exactly when it was needed.
You are seen. You are valued. You are not alone.
