Who is Phil?

Phil is our Founder and Executive Director. Read about his story here.

How do I request a Care Package?

December 27, 2014 by

Complete a request form or contact us. You will need to provide the name and mailing address of the intended recipient and indicate the appropriate type of Care Package. We will need some information from you along with a valid email address, but your information is always kept confidential.

What goes inside of a Care Package?

December 27, 2014 by

Care Packages contain meaningful and useful items that cancer patients need and enjoy. Such items include a blanket, hat, soft footwear, journal, water bottle, puzzle book, lotion, lip balm, Bible and more. There are different varieties of these items for men, women, teenagers and children and they are gender specific.

Does Phil’s Friends only send Care Packages?

December 27, 2014 by

Every patient will initially receive one Care Package. Following the Care Package, they can expect to receive weekly Cards of Hope.

How long do you send cards to patients?

December 27, 2014 by

There is no term limit for this. We send Cards of Hope throughout a patient’s journey until notified otherwise.

How much does it cost to support a cancer patient?

December 27, 2014 by

The initial Care Package costs the organization approximately $50 and it costs $20 to support each patient for one year through our Cards of Hope program.

How do I know if someone has already requested a Care Package for someone?

December 27, 2014 by

Submit your request anyway. We check every request against our database to ensure that there are no duplicate requests.

How is the organization funded?

As a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, tax-deductible donations cover 100% of our costs.
