This is how it started…
SEPTEMBER 13, 2019 – FIRST BASKET DELIVERY
Kelly donated the very first “Baskets for Breasties” to the Caldwell Breast Center At Lutheran General Hospital Advocate Health Care! It gave Kelly so much joy to donate to those going through a similar breast cancer journey.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in March and still undergoing her own treatment journey, Kelly selflessly focused her energy on helping newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
A month later, she and her family created a GoFundMe page to raise money to start “Baskets for Breasties.” The baskets include a hat, cup, toothbrush, puzzles, journal, mints, hand sanitizer and more. Kelly dropped off twenty baskets filled with goodies to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital’s Caldwell Breast Cancer Center and her wishes were to continue these donations.
OCTOBER 9, 2019 – 30 MORE BASKETS DELIVERED TO LUTHERAN GENERAL
