Living life with passion and purpose is often birthed out of a challenging experience or life event. Today we chatted with Marie Camacho, the founder of One Tough Cookie, a non-profit organization on mission to support and encourage those going through cancer as well as their caregivers. Marie is a mom of 2 and a Breast Cancer survivor. During her battle, she was so grateful for the love and support she received, but also knows that for many, this can be a lonely and scary time, and that is where Marie’s heart shines brightest!
Marie wanted to use her pain for purpose so she founded One Tough Cookie in November 2019 and it has been growing ever since! Her organization puts together care packages and delivers them to cancer patients in local hospitals in Connecticut and New Jersey - This year, they plan to expand to New York as well! OTC has delivered over 1000 care packages in the area and sends care packages across the US to those tough cookies that have been nominated on her site.
Marie wants patients to know that they never have to feel alone and her organization has a passion for being there and making them feel loved and supported.
Want to get involved and make an impact through OTC? They always are looking for monthly sponsors, volunteers, and corporate sponsorship so they can continue serving. You can also donate products or sponsor a “Tough Cookie” right from the website. So be sure to check out all the ways you can get involved on the site: https://www.supportonetoughcookie.com/
