Gail Cooper knows from experience that a little support can mean the world to someone battling an illness. It’s part of the reason the breast cancer survivor started Baskets of Care, a nonprofit that sends Comfort Care Bags to Northwest Ohioans with breast cancer. The packages contain information and materials meant to help newly diagnosed cancer patients navigate their treatment journey. Cooper has delivered packages to more than 300 people so far, and was recently awarded about $9,000 from the Toledo Rotary Foundation to cover the cost of 200 more Comfort Care Bags.
