About us

comfortpurses.org

My husband Dave and I provide our Comfort Purses and Bro Bags to the

City of Hope Cancer Center, Hoag Cancer Center Irvine, Hoag Cancer Institute Newport Beach, Providence St. Joseph Hospital, Todd Memorial Cancer Center,

and Los Alamitos Hospital Infusion.​

The Nurse Navigators and Social Workers then give our Comfort Purses and Bro Bags to their patients. This has been very effective in softening the reality of their diagnosis and opening the lines of communication. Through our Comfort Purses and Bro Bags, our desire and passion are to help make their difficult days more bearable.
