Priced as one real production order by Merch.com — decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment all in the goal.

On the first day of chemo, most patients bring too little. The suite is cold, the session is long, and there are a hundred questions to remember for the doctor.

Every new patient will get a Chemo Day Tote at their first infusion: a soft fleece throw, an insulated tumbler that keeps ice water cold for the whole session, a pair of grip socks, and a notebook for questions and side effects.

Our nurses picked every item. The tumbler has a straw because mouth sores make sipping hard, and the throw is big enough to cover the chair.

$40 makes one tote. 2,400 totes covers every new patient the center expects this year.

How backing works

Every dollar becomes goods

This goal is a real production order, priced before the drive went live — the items above, with decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment in the number. The goal is the order.

Funded means made

When the bar fills, production starts. Ashgrove Infusion Center Friends never has to chase invoices or manage a vendor — the goods just arrive.

Every outcome counts

Land short of the goal and Ashgrove Infusion Center Friends still gets merchandise scaled to what was raised. Sail past it and the extra becomes credit toward what they need next. Nothing raised here goes to waste.
