Support Starter Kits

What is the Support Starter Kit Program?

It is a free, 4-part subscription for young adults who are newly diagnosed with cancer or in active treatment. The program begins with a Welcome Kit, sent to the patient and up to 3  invited supporters.  Over the following months, the patient receives three themed connection kits, one delivered every other month for the patient and one selected supporter to enjoy together.

Each kit is more than a care package — it’s a guided opportunity to reconnect, laugh, reflect, and spend time together.

The result: Less pressure. More presence.

What’s Included?

The subscription includes four deliveries:

#1 – Welcome Kit

  • Sent to the patient and their invited supporters, this kit introduces everyone to the program and provides helpful resources to get started with confidence and empathy.
    • Arrives within 2 weeks of eligible signup

#2 – #4 – Themed Connection Kits

  • Themes include wellness, creativity, connection and emotional support. Each kit includes resources, activities, affirmations, and prompts offering a low-pressure reminder that you don’t have to go through this alone.
  • The patient selects one supporter for each themed kit. Both the patient and the invited supporter will receive their own themed connection kit to explore and enjoy together.

    • Kits arrive 2/4/6 months after the Welcome Kit

Who’s eligible?

To qualify, the patient must:

  • Be 18-39 years old
  • Live in the U.S.
  • Be newly diagnosed (within 6 months) or in active treatment
  • Understand English (kits are currently English-only)

Who can be an invited supporter?

Supporters are invited by the patient and can be friends, family, partners, or chosen family. The patient can change which supporter is paired with each themed kit.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. It’s 100% free.
