Welcome!

April Wishing Well

Tricia’s Troops Cancer Connection is a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance, wellness programming, and supportive care to people in southeast Wisconsin who have been impacted by cancer. They focus on the daily living challenges and out-of-pocket expenses that become a burden for many families during treatment. They provide a variety of free services, resources, and supplies to local cancer fighters and survivors to ensure they feel the embrace of our community on their journey toward healing. During the month of April, we would like to support Tricia’s Troops by collecting items for their Chemo Care & Radiation Relief Tote Bags and gift cards to help with daily living needs. Would you please consider donating to this organization?

Items needed for Chemo Care & Radiation Relief Tote Bags are:

• Blankets (fleece preferred) – Patients often get cold during treatment
• Candy (peppermint, ginger, root beer or lemon flavors) – For nausea/dry mouth
• Journals – For writing questions, medications, feelings etc.
• Lotion that is fragrance-free (8 oz. preferred) – For dry skin
  (i.e. Aveeno, Eucerin, Lubriderm, Neutrogena, Cetaphil, Lindi, Jergens)
• Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse (8 oz. preferred) – Provides relief from mouth sores
• Socks for men – Soft, fuzzy socks or slippers for warmth and comfort
• Thank-you card sets – To thank those who have provided support
• Water bottles (BPA-free) – To help patients stay hydrated (Camelbak, Contigo, Nalgene, Pogo etc.)
