About the solution
“After eight months of brutal chemo treatments, I became aware of certain basic items that made my treatments more tolerable. I would like to create what I call a "chemo care package" to distribute to patients at several hospitals and clinics throughout the community”, she explained.
Shivers learned a body goes through big changes during chemotherapy, like having a more sensitive mouth and weakened immune system. It was during her treatments Shivers discovered the products that worked best for her.
Then, one time during one of her hospital visits, someone gave her a small gift. Shivers got the idea to give to other cancer patients a free bag of items that worked for her. Her idea is now called the Lisa Project.
Shivers is in remission and continues to donate the small pink bags of hygiene products to Indianapolis area patients.
“It just feels really good to make a patient smile,” said Shivers.
Shivers started a crowdfunding page, where donors also get a pink t-shirt thanking them for their support of the Lisa Project.
