Chemo Comfort, an all-volunteer run organization founded in 2003 by three-time cancer survivor Anne Marie Paolucci, provides cancer patients with kits of products to help manage chemotherapy’s side effects. Ms. Paolucci’s mission comes from personal experience: “Starting chemotherapy is a frightening experience. We are saying to patients ‘Here is a box of tools put together by someone who’s been there. Know that you are not alone and these tools will help you take care of yourself during this difficult journey.’ ” Ms. Paolucci was a NY1 New Yorker of the Week.

About Chemo Comfort – Chemo Comfort is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The organization distributes kits filled with products to help manage nausea, mouth sores and hair loss, among other side effects of chemotherapy. There are also “feel good” items such as a sleep cap, warm socks, meditation CD, book, journal and helpful hints from the founder about combatting side effects of chemo. Approximately 75% of kits distributed annually are donated, primarily to patients in need within the greater New York area, through partner organizations such as CancerCare, Cancer Support Team and the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative at the Actors’ Fund. Chemo Comfort is a seven-time grantee of Susan G. Komen® Greater NYC and has received foundation support from the Kite Key and Landegger Foundations. In feedback forms, 100% of kit recipients state they would recommend a Chemo Comfort kit to someone undergoing chemotherapy.
