Every family knows: a cancer diagnosis is rough. But the people around us – the ones who drive us to treatment, shop for the few foods we’re willing to eat, put up with us when we just feel mad at the world – they give us the hope and strength that we need to get through.
This Valentine’s season let’s give back some love.
Tell us your TRUE caregiver story
Whether you are a caregiver or you are honoring a special person who has supported you, we want to celebrate your cancer caregiver story.
Top stories will be featured on the campaign page, and two caregivers will receive a special Verishop care package, selected by award-winning actress, Kristen Bell! Verishop is also sharing one-time 20% sitewide discount codes* for all story submissions, as well as donating 20% of sales from Kristen’s guest “Tastemaker Shop” with all her favorite items.

About the TRUE campaign
TRUE celebrates and honors caregivers of prostate cancer patients — spouses, partners, nurses, doctors, siblings, children, friends. In the U.S. every 3.2 minutes a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer and there are currently 3 million men in the U.S. battling the disease. The most fortunate among us often have someone who has made a special commitment or gone the extra mile towards supporting them through the battle. That support can make all the difference in the world to someone with a cancer diagnosis. From finding the right treatment, to recovery or palliative care, compassionate care is a key factor in all aspects of care.
Award winning actress Kristen Bell is helping to get the word out about the TRUE campaign and she’s also curating a special gift for the winner of the most inspirational caregiver story submitted to the campaign. Kristen’s mother is a nurse and her father-in-law has recently passed away from prostate cancer, so she understands first-hand the value of caregivers as part of the cancer care support system.
