MORE THAN A BAG

A little comfort can mean a lot.

Cancer treatment can bring a hundred little discomforts that add up to a very long day. Survivor Bags put thoughtful, useful items directly into the hands of people facing advanced and metastatic cancer.

FEEL BETTER

Feel-good and practical items for treatment days—skin care, chapped lips, dry mouth, nausea and other everyday discomforts.

KNOW MORE

Trusted education and resources to help patients understand options, ask better questions and prepare for the next conversation.

FEEL LESS ALONE

Personal encouragement plus connections to Say YES to Hope programs and people who understand the metastatic cancer journey.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Chosen with patients in mind.

Contents vary, because the needs—and the partners helping us meet them—change. Bags may include gentle skin-care products, lip care, dry-mouth products, ginger candies and other nausea-comfort items, hand sanitizer, treatment-day comfort items, nutrition and wellness resources, and trusted cancer education.

The contents may change. The purpose doesn't.

To make today a little easier—and tomorrow feel a little less overwhelming.

ONE THING YOU CAN'T BUY

Encouragement from someone who cares.

Some of the most meaningful things tucked inside a Survivor Bag are simple personal notes. At a Takeda packing event, team members didn't just assemble bags—they personally wrote messages of encouragement for the patients who would eventually open them.

“You are not alone.”

A few handwritten words can travel a very long way on a difficult day.

PARTNERS IN ACTION

They don't just sponsor hope.
They pack it.

Takeda and Sirtex have been steadfast supporters of Survivor Bags—helping provide resources and support, and rolling up their sleeves to assemble bags alongside Say YES to Hope. These aren't simply logos on a program. They are hands around the packing table.

Hope has a lot of hands.

THE BAG IS THE BEGINNING

A Survivor Bag can't answer every question.
But we can help you find someone who can.

Every bag is a doorway into the wider Say YES to Hope community.

PACK HOPE WITH US

Put hope in someone's hands.

Companies, medical teams, community organizations and individuals can help sponsor, supply, assemble and distribute Survivor Bags.

Packing events can also become meaningful employee-engagement experiences: people work side by side, learn about the metastatic cancer community and create something tangible for a patient they may never meet.
