Sponsor a Teen Angel Box: Bringing Comfort, Joy, and Support to Teens Battling Cancer

Making a Difference for Teens with Cancer

When a teenager is diagnosed with cancer, life can change in an instant. Beyond the physical challenges, they experience emotional stress, isolation from friends, and interruptions in school and extracurricular activities.

That’s where the Teen Angel Box comes in—a thoughtfully curated gift designed to uplift, comfort, and inspire teenagers undergoing treatment at Minnesota Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis.

Stories of Impact: A Teen’s Journey with the Teen Angel Box

Meet Lily, a 15-year-old patient who recently received a Teen Angel Box during her chemotherapy treatment. “It was like getting a hug in a box,” she says. “The fuzzy socks are my favorite—I wear them every day. I’ve already filled pages in the journal, and playing cards with my brother in the hospital made me feel like things were normal again, even just for a while.”

Lily’s story is just one example of how a small act of kindness can leave a lasting impact. With every Teen Angel Box, there’s a chance to create more moments like this—moments of joy, comfort, and connection.

Each Teen Angel Box is filled with carefully chosen items to brighten a teen’s day and offer much-needed respite from their cancer journey:

What’s Inside the Teen Angel Box?

Fuzzy Socks

These trendy and cozy socks aren’t just about warmth—they add a playful flair that reflects a teen's sense of style. Whether lounging in a hospital bed or navigating a day of treatment, these socks provide both comfort and personality, wrapping them in softness when they need it most.

Journal for Thoughts, Dreams, and Doodles

A cancer diagnosis brings an emotional rollercoaster, and journaling can become a powerful outlet. The journal included in the Teen Angel Box offers a space for teens to jot down thoughts, capture memories, or express their creativity through art and doodles. It serves as a companion, helping them process emotions, track their progress, and rediscover the joys of self-expression.

Adult Coloring Book and Colored Pencils

Creativity can be a healing force. The adult coloring book paired with vibrant colored pencils invites teens to immerse themselves in a world of colors, turning anxiety into art. Coloring is more than just an activity—it’s a therapeutic escape that can help reduce stress, improve focus, and spark moments of personal achievement.

A Deck of Cards

Laughter and social interaction are essential, especially for teens who may feel isolated during their hospital stays. The deck of cards included in each box creates opportunities for play—whether it's a friendly competition with hospital staff or a bonding moment with family. These simple activities provide normalcy, fun, and connection during challenging times.

Fun Game

Laughter and social interaction are vital, especially for teens experiencing isolation during hospital stays. The games game in each box offer moments of play—whether it’s a lighthearted competition with hospital staff or quality time with family. These simple activities bring a sense of normalcy, joy, and connection, helping to brighten their journey through difficult times.

The Power of Thoughtful Giving

Cancer treatments can take a heavy toll on teenagers—not just physically, but emotionally and socially. Hospital stays often disrupt friendships, school routines, and activities that are vital to a teen’s sense of identity. The Teen Angel Box provides more than entertainment—it restores a sense of normalcy and joy.

  • Emotional Well-being: Journaling helps teens process their emotions, while coloring activities promote mindfulness and relaxation.
  • Creativity and Empowerment: With tools to draw and write, teens are empowered to express themselves and stay engaged with their passions.
  • Social Connection: Games and cards bring laughter and bonding moments, reinforcing connections with family and friends during hospital stays.
  • Comfort and Reassurance: Fuzzy socks are more than just cozy—they provide tangible comfort, reminding teens that even small things can make a big difference.
