Watertown native Amy Rambow is more than a personalized bag consultant, she is a caring mother and wife who returned to Watertown to raise her family in a community she loves. Her love for the community and compassion inspired her to donate 108 comfort bags that carried a blanket, lip balm, hand sanitizer, lotion, a puzzle book, candy and more to cancer patients.
The Prairie Lakes Cancer Center provides care to local radiation and chemotherapy cancer patients, which makes it the right avenue for Amy’s giving as she hopes to uplift the their spirits. “I am blessed and hope that they feel the same!” said Amy. “I look forward to continuing this project in the future with the amazing community support that I have received.”
Like many, Amy’s life has been touched by the emotional affects of cancer. She has lost many close family members and friends to cancer during her life. “Everyone has a story on how cancer has touched their lives,” said Amy. “This is my little way of making a person that is going through one of the hardest journeys in their lives smile or feel better.”
Amy’s comfort bags have warmed the hearts and souls of the patients who have received them. Her gift is more than a warm blanket or a bag to carry their things to appointments, it’s a message. “I hope that this brings you some comfort as you go through this journey,” said Amy. “You are not alone and you are loved!”
