ChemoCare Bags...FREE!

ChemoCare Bag Ministry


My name is Vicki Goss and I attend Celebration Christian Center in Livermore, CA. During 2006 I developed breast cancer; had a mastectomy and received subsequent chemotherapy treatment. When I would go to treatment, as you spend several hours there, I would take a tote bag full of reading materials, devotionals, CD player, kleenex, water and the like.


Last year after a breast cancer awareness "A Night of Hope" at my church, a dear friend told me of a little bag she packed for someone she had never met. She filled the bag with a devotional, a journal, pen, and many other things both useful and fun. This only to give encouragement and comfort to someone beginning a journey unlike any other she had faced in the past.


Then the Lord placed it on my heart to provide these treatment bags to others who must make the same journey. With the help of several others we have developed an outreach and have given these bags full of goodies to many women, with different types of cancer, in California, Nevada and most recently South Carolina. These bags are lovingly handmade and each one thoughtfully prayed over. They are custom packed; meaning the bags come in several colors and designs filled with both meaningful and fun women things. A great deal of your womanly identity is lost or temporarily on hold during this battle.


It is helpful for us to know a little about the woman so we can pick just the right design and color for her. Things like her favorite color; is she outgoing or the softer type; anything you can share with us is useful. I received information once that a woman loved nature and color. We sent her a bright blue bag with Butterflies all over it; she loved it! After we collect all this info the Care Bag is then filled and sent anonymously with love and prayers. If you ever find need to send a Care bag, please just let me know. There is no charge, but donations of items to go in our bags are always appreciated.


Love In Christ,
Vicki Goss
