BEE
WITH YOU
COMFORT FOR CANCER
THE MISSION
Create a small tool of comfort for those moving through cancer treatment - chemo and radiation. To remind them of the connection with their greater human community as well as the community of nature all around them.
THE GOAL
To have people who crotchet & knit come together to create & donate
as many little stuffed bees as they desire.
These bees would serve as a coping/stress tool. And as a small companion for people diagnosed with cancer. To bring with them into their radiation, chemo treatments & other cancer treatments.
These bees would be offered to people of all ages & genders.
(We want to normalize all people having tools to cope with the inevitable stress of these treatments.)
OUR STORY / OUR WHY
On May 5th 2023 Paul Marshall, Dad, was rushed to the hospital while having a seizure and after lots of testing and scans was diagnosed with a primary brain tumor. Which was then diagnosed as Glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer.
Paul spent days in the ICU and went through a 6 hour open & awake brain surgery. During this surgery Paul had a vision of being swarmed by bees and knew that they were with him throughout the process. Next steps were to go through chemo and radiation treatment in order to attempt to stop the cancer.
Throughout this entire process, Paul carried with him a tiny stuffed crochet bee, which was gifted to him by his twin nieces. To remind him of his connection to his bees and to the greater community around him.
As Paul goes through more cancer treatment, it is our desire as a family to not only support him but also others that are going through this process.
