Penji Partnership Coordinator, Daniela, talks with Rachel Minion from Beyond Basic Needs, about the emotional journey of caring for loved ones with cancer, her personal battle with the disease, and how these experiences inspired her to create a nonprofit that supports cancer patients.
Here are three things you’ll learn in this episode:
1. The power of small acts—how simple gestures like sending a meme or a care package can make a big difference for someone going through treatment.
2. How Rachel turned her pain and passion into purpose by founding Beyond Basic Needs, a nonprofit that has now delivered over 1,200 chemo care kits across the U.S.
3. Why waiting for the “perfect time” to start something meaningful is a myth—and how starting small, asking for help, and showing up can create real impact.
