JP's Chemo Angels

When JP was diagnosed, we were told about a program called Chemo Angels. This group of volunteers are assigned to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and send a card or small gift to the patient on a weekly basis to cheer them up. What an amazing thing and what a commitment on their part! JP is tickled to death that he has two of his very own angels - Angel Donna and Angel Eileen. We started receiving their mail last week.

Opening his introduction letter from Angel Donna... He was sort of mad at me for pulling out the camera.

His new Lightning McQueen and Mater and bag of chips from Angel Eileen. Of course, we opened the Cheetos first and foremost.

And today he got another note from Angel Donna with a booklet of stickers. He was pretty excited!

How grateful I am for our angels! Eileen is from New York and Donna is from Pennsylvania. These complete strangers are taking time out of their busy schedules to brighten my son's day. We are only in the "program" for his first year of treatment and I know it is going to help put a smile on his face every single week. I look forward to when this is all over and JP and I can become Chemo Angels ourselves and pay it forward to some other very deserving kids.


We are truly blessed. People are so good.
