Founded by a three-time cancer survivor, Kits to Heart is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that gives curated cancer care kits to patients and their loved ones. Our mission is to bring smiles and solidarity to those affected by cancer, one kit at a time.
6 simple stickers may receive 1 service hour
3 complex stickers may receive 1 service hour
Help bring cheer and motivation to cancer patients by creating custom stickers with positive messages and illustrations to be used as decorations for our cancer care kits. These stickers will serve as small but impactful tokens of encouragement, designed to uplift the spirits of those undergoing treatment.
How to Get Started
- Brainstorm and create designs that include positive messages such as "You Are Strong," "Keep Fighting," and "Stay Positive," along with uplifting illustrations like sunflowers, rainbows, and smiling faces.
- As with our other service projects, you are welcome to work from the comfort of your home, with your colleagues at the office, or with your friends at school! Use digital and/or traditional art techniques to draw and create the designs. Once designed, the stickers can be printed on high-quality adhesive paper or using the tutorials below.
- Once completed, follow the submission steps here. They will then be distributed to cancer patients in hospitals, treatment centers, and support groups through Kits to Heart's cancer care kits.
