Almost every single family in the United States has been affected by cancer in some way. Whether it has been the loss of a grandparent, parent, or even a sibling or friend, most everyone has a heartbreaking story to tell when it comes to cancer. This goes without saying, but cancer sucks. Like, a lot. Watching someone you love face the unspeakable struggles that come with a cancer diagnosis is incredibly painful—for everyone involved. It is horrific watching them fight, but your own feeling of helplessness is somehow worse.

Not only do the patients have to live with this battle for their lives, but many of them still face the normal daily struggles of life that are simply exhausting—even for those of us without cancer. Working, cooking, raising a family, and still trying to take care of those around them is a full-time gig that doesn’t leave time for hours and hours of doctor’s visits, hospital stays, and treatments.

Cancer tends to take more than it gives. It takes both physically and emotionally. It takes pieces of our bodies that can’t be given or grown back. It takes our health, our energy, makes us sick and makes even the simplest tasks far more difficult than they once were. Perhaps the thing that it takes the most of is time—something that we can’t make up and can’t fake. Once it’s gone that’s all it is: gone.

The weight of all this is a lot to bear. There are lots of ways to help out, most of them small but making a difference none the less. One of these ways is to buy a tote bag, personalized to perfection, for a loved one fighting the good fight. On one side of the bag is either a single photo or multiple photos—images of things they love, things or people that make them think of happier, simpler, and healthier times. Whether this includes photos of flowers, puppies, grandkids, or their favorite place by the lake, you can give the gift of peace, even if only for a few moments in between the chaos.
