How to Make Gift Baskets for Cancer Patients

Sometimes the best help for cancer patients is to say, I’m thinking of you. Our natural instinct to rush in and help can be great, but also sometimes overwhelming, especially when a lot of friends offer assistance all at once. Gift baskets for cancer patients might sound odd – aren’t they for festive occasions? But it turns out that patients find certain things immensely useful, and many of them fit into a gift basket.

Lip balm is popular, but so are other things that may be less obvious: a teddy bear, spa socks, and body lotion can all add a great feel to a sometimes tough situation. Everyday Items can be Vital Some things are so ordinary we wouldn’t dream of including them in a gift basket. Yet those very items can be the best. Hand sanitizer can protect people with a compromised immune system, making a thoughtful idea a crucial part of their tool kit. Gum can help fight dry mouth by promoting saliva. And a journal can be useful for everything from journaling to keeping track of medications and appointments.

Borrowing From Your Life Insurance Policy: Is It Right for You?

Many cancer patients find that the financial battle is bigger than they anticipated. You may have wanted to borrow against life insurance policy, but were worried how it would affect your family. Is it worth considering? That might depend on circumstances, which can change from the time the policy was originally set up. Beneficiaries can be older and needing less life insurance as a safety net, for example. Money for Cancer Patients A cancer patient’s need for money can also be temporary – depending on your finances, your health insurance and your health situation. But one piece of the puzzle is how the money is made available to you. If you have permanent life insurance, you may be able to borrow against your life insurance policy.
