Courage Pods
Launched in November 2021, our Courage Pods program provides child cancer warriors all over Canada and the United States with a personalized Courage Pod containing $100 to $200 worth of items including toys/games, books, arts and crafts supplies, plushies, snacks, and more! Nominators are asked to provide information such as the child's favourite colours, animals, and characters/books/shows, as well as any specific items the child would love to receive, and we use all of this info to create a Courage Pod that is perfect for them!
How The Program Works
01
Anybody in Canada or the United States is welcome to nominate a child cancer warrior that they know using our Courage Pod Request Form.
02
Each month, we select 2-3 nominations for fulfillment and notify the nominators to confirm their interest and mailing address.
03
Once we receive confirmation, we use the info provided by nominators to prepare Courage Pods personalized to fit each child's interests!
04
Once the Courage Pods are ready, we ship them out and provide each nominator with the tracking number so they can know when to expect it!
Our Work So Far
So far, we've sent Courage Pods to 12 child cancer warriors across Canada and the United States!
