Chemo Comfort, an all-volunteer run organization founded in 2003 by three-time cancer survivor Anne Marie Paolucci, provides cancer patients with kits of products to help manage chemotherapy’s side effects. Ms. Paolucci’s mission comes from personal experience: “Starting chemotherapy is a frightening experience. We are saying to patients ‘Here is a box of tools put together by someone who’s been there. Know that you are not alone and these tools will help you take care of yourself during this difficult journey.’ ” Ms. Paolucci was a NY1 New Yorker of the Week.
