Are you looking for a gift basket for someone going through the cancer journey? Baskets Full of Hope can help!
When Connie Pombo, the creator of Baskets Full of Hope, was diagnosed with breast cancer on March 21, 1996, one of the first gifts she received was a gift basket full of relaxation tapes, comfy socks, lip balm, candles, herbal teas, and a journal which contained the words, "Start Writing!" And she hasn't stopped writing since.
Connie is the author of Trading Ashes for Roses: From Pain to Passion and the contributing author to fourteen books, including the best-selling Chicken Soup series, and a line of greeting cards --"Cards by Connie." She is a motivational speaker who shares her inspirational story of "Living the Passionate Life," with audiences across the nation. Through her tragedy, pain and loss, Connie discovered her passion of speaking, writing, photography, and now "giving hope" through her line of gift baskets for cancer survivors and their caregivers.
Each gift basket contains one of Connie's inspirational books: Trading Ashes for Roses: From Pain to Passion; The Serenity Prayer by Adams Media Conversations on Faith; Chicken Soup for the Coffee-Lover's Soul by HCI Publishers, and now Pink Ribbons Devotions to Go by Extreme Diva Media.
After Connie's cancer diagnosis, she didn't know how long she had to live, but she wanted to make the most of life while she was living, so she created a passionate "to-do" list which included 27 things she wanted to do before she died. It's been 13 years since she wrote that list, but she has accomplished each "passionate" goal, including a line of gift baskets for cancer survivors and caregivers.
If you know someone who is going through the cancer journey, let them know that you care by giving them a "basketful of hope." All gift baskets are sent within 24 hours of ordering.
Baskets Full of Hope is a proud sponsor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For more information, please visit their Web site at www.nbcam.org. A portion of the proceeds for October 2009 - Breast Cancer Awareness Month - will go to NBCAM.
Join Connie on "Moms with Breast Cancer" on Momlogic (Time Warner Production) as she interviews authors, speakers, survivors, and experts in the field of "living" with cancer!
