BRAVEHOODS
BraveHoods is a nonprofit organization based on my daughter’s experience with cancer.  This lightweight hoodie made is so she could manage who saw her head and this made a huge difference because there was not too much she could control at the time.  When she was out and about, she could blend in better and that made her more comfortable.  We thought other kids could benefit from her experience. When you buy a BraveHood, your purchase is bigger than a hoodie. You give hope and comfort to kids fighting cancer. Visit their website at www.bravehoods.org
