We provide: • Emotional and social support for individuals and families. • Healing wellness programs to nurture the body and mind. • Education and resources that empower patients and their families to take control of their journey.

Facing cancer can be incredibly challenging not only for those diagnosed but also for their caregivers. These unsung heroes stand by their loved ones, offering unwavering support and care, often at the expense of their own well-being. At Beyond Basic Needs, our mission is to ease the lives of those facing cancer, along with their loved ones. That’s why we provide Chemo Care Kits designed to inspire, uplift, and help our community thrive during this challenging time. Each kit is thoughtfully assembled with items that offer both practical benefits and emotional uplift. Each kit contains: - A port pillow: A small but mighty cushion that provides comfort around sensitive port areas, making daily activities a bit easier. - Comfy socks: Soft, warm socks that offer a touch of coziness during long treatment sessions. - Lip balm: To soothe and protect against the dryness caused by chemotherapy. - A variety of goodies: Specially chosen items to bring a smile and a sense of care to those who receive them. We understand the physical and emotional toll that cancer takes on both patients and their caregivers. Caregivers often put their own needs aside to support their loved ones. By offering these kits, we aim to provide a bit of comfort and hope, showing that they are not alone in this fight. #Cancer #Philanthropy #Nonprofit #PatientExperience #PatientCare

The Jodi Lee Foundation was established fourteen years ago today. Jodi was only 39 when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer, and she sadly passed away just before her 42nd birthday, leaving behind her husband Nick and two children, Jack and Arabella. The saddest part of Jodi’s story is that it could have had a different ending if her bowel cancer had been detected early. With that simple fact as the driving force, the Jodi Lee Foundation was established in 2010, with the view to be the leading voice in bowel cancer prevention and early detection. For the past fourteen years the Jodi Lee Foundation has reached millions of Australians through a number of campaigns and programs encouraging everyone to be healthy and active, explore their family history, act on symptoms and take a bowel screening test. Our mission is to empower everyone to take active steps to prevent bowel cancer and lead healthy lives. We cannot thank everyone enough for their support over the past fourteen years - whether you've shared your story, joined a Trek, taken a bowel screening test, followed us on social media, had a conversation, been part of an event, donated money, partnered with us or attended a Workplace Program, every little bit helps us in our fight against bowel cancer. Together, we have saved lives. . . . . . #JLF #JodiLeeFoundation #JLFAnniversary #BowelCancerPrevention #BowelCancerAwareness #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #BowelCancer #BowelCancerScreening

🎗️ September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️ Every year, over 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. While survival rates have improved, childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children. The battle these young warriors and their families face is unimaginably tough, and they need our support—now more than ever. 💛 Why should you care? 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday. In many cases, the treatment options available are limited, outdated, and come with lifelong side effects. 🌟 How can you help? Raise awareness: Use your platform to share facts, stories, and resources. Support research: Donate to organizations focused on pediatric cancer research. Be there: For families and kids fighting this battle, emotional and financial support makes a huge difference. Let’s give these brave kids the chance they deserve by shining a light on their fight, driving research, and spreading hope. Together, we can make a difference! 💪 #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #GoldRibbon #FightCancer #PediatricCancer #Hope #Support

#ChildhoodCancer. For every 10 children diagnosed with cancer, two will not survive. Those who do often suffer long-term health issues because current therapies can affect children's growing bodies. Our scientists are looking for more precise, safer treatments to improve survival and reduce harmful side-effects. Change for childhood cancer starts here. Support our life saving research with a donation before 31 December: https://bit.ly/3AOTp76

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Cancer. Two phrases you never want to hear from a medical professional, yet they are topics that have been top of mind for me and my family for decades. I have lived with T1D for 28+ years and cancer has impacted and continues to impact all generations. Cancer took both of my grandmothers before I was born and both my parents, my father-in-law, and my sister-in-law, along with other family members and friends are survivors. Enough is enough! I am asking for your support to contribute to putting an end to these conditions for my family, for your family, your friends and future generations. On August 3rd I will be joining Transcarent colleagues and other cyclists at the Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) Ride in La Crosse, WI in order to ride 100+ miles and raise funds towards a cure of T1D. In a world of click bait and deceptive advertising you deserve to know where your contributions go so visit https://lnkd.in/ewVQe28t to learn about the life changing accomplishments of this organization. Finally, if you feel compelled to help fund future research and put an end to T1D please visit: https://lnkd.in/eE4_2QRg Shortly after the La Crosse event, I will be heading to Cleveland, OH to take part in the 11th annual Cleveland Clinic VeloSano alongside friends from Oatey Company to raise awareness and funds for cancer research at the Cleveland Clinic. Similar to the BreakthroughT1D link above, please click here to learn how your VeloSano contributions will be used: https://lnkd.in/ea9em8yB. If contributing to cancer research calls your name you can donate here: https://lnkd.in/eMJNPEcX Thank you for your attention and generosity. Even if you are not in a position to financially contribute, I appreciate you taking a few minutes to learn more about these amazing organizations. #CureT1D #CureCancer #Cycling #ThankYou

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’ve shared our WHY—the deep, unwavering motivation that drives us to make childhood cancers universally survivable. And YOU shared yours. Your responses have been overwhelming, from families still in treatment, to those grieving unimaginable loss, and parents fighting for their children’s futures. Your message is clear: the need for childhood cancer research is urgent—because "children deserve to live full lives." With just one week left in September, we’re more than halfway to our $110,000 goal, thanks to donors like you who have stepped up to meet our board’s matching challenge. But we can’t reach the finish line without YOU! 💛 A gift of $300 funds two hours of critical research. 💛 A gift of $1,200 allows an entire day of potential breakthroughs. Together, we can end the suffering of children and families. Will you help us reach our goal and give today? https://lnkd.in/gMxTSeUU #childhoodcancerawarenessmonth #cctdi #givingbackchildhood #childhoodcancerresearch
