Care Boxes for Women with Cancer

Hello, my name is Lesley Rink. I am launching a project with UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center to create care boxes for women with breast and gynecological cancers. I’ve witnessed the challenges cancer presents for the patients I have cared for as a nurse and, like many of you, for my family members with cancer.

Care boxes are being curated to include Beautycounter* personal care and makeup items along with other soothing items and well-being resources. Beautycounter is a company that bans over 2800 questionable or known to be harmful ingredients making it a perfect match for patients with cancer. UNC noted that many of their services that involved personal care and makeup items for women undergoing treatment with cancer ended during the pandemic, so they are excited about this partnership for their patients. Any money donated will go directly to the care boxes for women with breast and gynecological cancers who are patients at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Care Center.

Any amount you’re willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated, and if you aren’t able to contribute money at this time, a share with your friends and family would mean the world to these women as well. Thank you!

*All commissions from the sale of Beautycounter items for the care boxes will be donated back into the care box project fund.
