Crowdfunding and Registries for People with Cancer: Better Than Amazon Wishlists
When a friend or family member is diagnosed with cancer, our first instinct is to help. Often, people ask: “Do you have an Amazon Wishlist?”
While the intent is good, Amazon isn’t always the best way to help.
That’s where Wellnest comes in — a compassionate alternative to Amazon Wishlists designed specifically for people with cancer or chronic illness.
The Problem with Amazon Wishlists
Amazon Wishlists are limited in important ways:
- No context: Loved ones don’t know why something is needed
- No coordination: No calendar, no updates
- No flexibility: Can’t ask for help with meals or rides
- No crowdfunding option for medical expenses
What People Actually Need During Cancer Treatment
Support isn’t just stuff. It’s:
- A ride to chemo
- A homemade meal
- Help with childcare
- Someone to mow the lawn
- Financial aid for copays
Wellnest provides a way to list and organize all of that in one place.
Introducing the Wellnest Support Registry
More than a wishlist, our registry allows users to:
- Add practical support items (pillows, skincare, water bottles)
- Request experiences (house cleaning, dog walking)
- Raise funds directly
- Keep everyone in the loop with progress updates
Why Wellnest is a Better Alternative
Wellnest goes beyond material items. It provides coordination tools, health update sharing, and transparent fundraising — all in one compassionate platform.
Real Impact, Real Support
Your friends want to help — they just don’t always know how. With Wellnest, you can:
- Clearly communicate needs
- Offer options: gifts, time, money
- Keep everyone informed without repeating yourself 100 times
In a world where cancer support has been fragmented across multiple platforms, Wellnest brings it all together — making it easier to give, receive, and feel supported.
Because every moment should be focused on healing, not logistics.
