These values stayed with me and when friends and family have struggled with mental health and illness these values, along with my desire to help people have led me to create MiniGem Comfort.

The first comfort pack that I put together was for Trish when she was diagnosed with cancer and was in Palliative care. I wanted to create some comfort and peace in a space that lacked both. I included items that are a part of the MiniGem Comfort pack I now offer others.

To this day, I am so grateful that I was able to give Trish that gift and hear how it helped her feel more like the room around her was her own, how it gave her that little bit of tranquility and warmth and made her space a little more comfortable.
