Comfort Bags

Why Comfort Bags?

Young adults often begin cancer treatment with little warning and few comforts from home. Comfort Bags – designed in consultation with oncology experts – provide thoughtful, practical items that help ease the shock of those first difficult days.

Each year, Alli’s Journey delivers 200+ Comfort Bags through partner hospital AYA programs.

I am so grateful that someone is thinking of me, and truly gets how awful treatment is, and what can help pass the time. Small pieces of comfort. Thank you to Alli’s Journey for being so thoughtful, and trying to ensure other young adults are supported and cared for!

I chose Alli’s Journey because when people are suffering we can’t take away their pain, but we can do our best to give them comfort and kindness.

My niece had been diagnosed with breast cancer. At one point towards the end of a very long and difficult day, the nurse coordinator gave her an Alli's Journey comfort bag. As she went through the bag, she pulled out each item and was smiling and laughing at how thoughtful and how cute everything was.

Thank you for the work that you do to support young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer. I wish I had known about your services when I was a patient.

Receiving this bag at the time of my diagnosis was very helpful and helped me feel better during my month in the hospital. Thank you for providing this and for connecting me to this resource as so go through my journey.
