HOW WE GIFT JOY

Holiday baskets

Our patient baskets are thoughtfully curated to bring comfort and a touch of joy to those undergoing bone marrow transplants. Filled with items like memory foam pillows, aromatherapy, and journals, these baskets aim to ease the challenges of a difficult hospital stay.

Oncofertility fund

The Oncofertility Fund supports young adults at Duke Cancer Institute by helping them preserve their fertility during cancer treatment. Since most insurance plans don’t cover these essential procedures, our fund helps alleviate the financial burden on patients.

Meal & travel support

Patients and families often stay long term at the hospital, racking up bills for travel and meal expenses. We provide food delivery gift cards so that patients and their loved ones can enjoy nourishing meals from local restaurants, offering comfort during a challenging time.

OUR STORY

Gifting Joy was created by Alexa, a leukemia survivor who underwent a bone marrow transplant at Duke Hospital. Learn more about her story and how it drives our mission to support bone marrow transplant patients.
