Overview
Mission
Our mission is to aid, support and comfort cancer patients and their families. Venecia's cancer diagnosis gave her a purpose. "Living your purpose... it's not always the easiest choice to make, but it will always be the most rewarding," she said. She focused on lifting the spirits of fellow cancer patients by providing Care Bags filled with items that were beneficial during her nine-year fight. Cancer warriors describe these Care Bags as receiving a comforting hug of support and a message of hope while fighting against cancer.
What it reported doing in 2025
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be an incredibly stressful experience, often leaving patients unprepared for the lengthy hours of chemotherapy. To help ease this journey, Venecia's Foundation has developed Care Bags, which are filled with essential items to provide comfort during treatment. These Care Bags were inspired by Venecia's personal experience, and over the years, additional items have been included based on feedback from other cancer patients. Our Care Bags include a range of everyday items to make the chemotherapy treatments more bearable, including a soft blanket, lotion, eye drops, travel pillow, port pillow, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, journal/pen, puzzle book, sugar free candy, facial tissue, face mask, hand sanitizer, hand wipes, nonslip socks, Starbuck gift card and gas gift card. We collaborate closely with local cancer treatment centers in Northeast Alabama to distribute our Care Bags to newly diagnosed patients, ensuring they begin their fight against cancer with a Care Bag of Comfort. In 2025, we have provided 337 Care Bags to these courageous individuals. 206 Care Bags were delivered to our collaborative partners in Anniston, Gadsden, Ft. Payne and Sylacauga Alabama as well as Rome Georgia. We had hand delivered or mailed 131 Care Bags to cancer patients living in Alabama and throughout the U.S. Our mission is to spread hope and surpass our goal of distributing 350 Care Bags each year.
