This sounds like a boost during the rigors of chemo:

"Chemo Angels is a volunteer organization dedicated to adding a ray of sunshine to the lives of those undergoing IV chemo treatment. They believe people going through the physical, emotional and mental rigors of chemotherapy deserve lots of encouragement.
Since their service is provided through the postal mail, your location is unimportant. They have many international patients and volunteers as well."
