Where it all Began…

In 2015, three months after going through a very painful separation, I was diagnosed with two types of cancer in my right breast. I found myself fighting for my life, going through a divorce and navigating the challenges of being a single mom simultaneously.

My friends and family became my “Angels.” I received so many comforting gifts that kept me going during a time when I was depleted, scared, and lonely. My “Angels” sent me uplifting cards, blankets, skincare products, meals, and more.

Now in remission, Boxed by an Angel is a way that I can pay it forward. These boxes are curated specifically for women going through cancer treatments and carefully packaged with items that I found comforting during my own journey.

At Boxed by an Angel, we understand that every woman's cancer journey is unique. That's why our curated boxes go beyond the ordinary, offering a tailor-made experience that takes into account the specific needs and preferences of each applicant. We believe that personalization is key to making a genuine and meaningful impact during tough times.

When an individual applies or is nominated to receive a Boxed by an Angel box, we take the time to learn about their story, interests and comfort needs. This personal touch ensures that each box is a thoughtful compilation of items that cater to the recipient's physical and emotional well-being.

The contents of our curated boxes are carefully selected to provide comfort, inspiration, and moments of joy. From soft blankets and soothing teas to inspirational books and pampering skincare products, each item is chosen with intention to create an atmosphere of support and care. Additionally, small tokens of encouragement, personalized notes, or uplifting quotes add an extra layer of warmth to the package.

What sets Boxed by an Angel apart is its unique sponsorship model. Anyone with a heart for helping can become an "Angel" by sponsoring a custom-curated box for a woman in need. Through this platform, the connection between those seeking support and those willing to provide it is seamlessly facilitated, allowing for a direct and personal impact on the lives of those facing difficult circumstances.

Boxed by an Angel is not just about sending a box; it's about fostering connections, providing solace, and reminding women that they are not alone in their journey. With each carefully curated box, we aim to empower anyone, from friends and family to strangers with a compassionate heart, to be an "Angel" for someone facing adversity. Together, let's spread hope, comfort, and kindness, one personalized box at a time.

P.S. I finally became a real “Angel” on June 11, 2022, when I married the love of my life. He is my biggest supporter and helped bring Boxed by an Angel to life! Thank you, Wesley Brad Angel, I couldn’t have made this happen without you!
