Who qualifies for a care package?
Anyone with a chronic illness, disability, terminal illness, or serious medical condition can apply for a package. Our care packages are only available to people in the United States due to high international shipping costs. Any age can apply.
Can I apply for a friend/family member?
Of course! Feel free to fill out an application for a friend or family member who has a chronic/terminal illness or disability. Currently, if you nominate someone for a care package, we do ask that you pay the $9 to ship their package.
Why do you charge $9 to ship the package?
My organization relies solely on donations, and money out of my own pocket. Each care package costs $9 to ship, and that doesn't include the cost of the materials. Due to the continuous lack of monetary donations, I have no choice but to ask each recipient to cover the $9 shipping cost. Other than this small contribution, the care package itself is absolutely free of cost to recipients!
How can I apply for a care package?
Applications open at the beginning of every month, and stay open until all of the slots for that month are filled. The online application can be accessed through our website or Instagram page. If all the spots are full for that month, you'll have to wait until the next month to apply.
