Chemo Angels

Traditional Chemo Angel

 

As a Traditional Chemo Angel you will be assigned to a patient who you will encourage through small gifts, cards, letters, uplifting notes for the duration of their treatment. A recent poll shows 75% of our Traditional Chemo Angels spend $50 or less a month on their patient.  

 

Before you fill out the application, please give the following some serious consideration. Being a Chemo Angel is a long-term commitment that should not be entered into lightly! Please do not sign up if:

• you have a health problem that could potentially interfere with your angeling

• you are caretaking someone whose health situation may make angeling difficult for you

• you have a personal situation that may interfere with you angeling commitment

• the financial burden of sending a weekly gift in the range of $2-$5 might be to large for you to sustain

• you have a major change coming in your life, such as a new baby, a move, or other...

• you are less than 25 years old. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Read the General Terms & Conditions below to which you must agree. We can not accept you in our program without your consent to these terms. Chemo Angels reserves the right to refuse any applicant for any reason.
