The Challenge
When our founder, Rachel Minion faced cancer, she not only fought for her life but discovered a profound need within the community, patients undergoing chemotherapy often feel alone, unsupported, and overwhelmed. Inspired to give back and make a difference, Rachel founded Beyond Basic Needs to provide chemo care kits filled with comfort and hope. However, launching a nonprofit from scratch came with challenges:
