The Comfort Zone Boutique

Our lives are rich with the beauty we see in the stars at night, friends who help us stand up when we are knocked down and even the adversity we face. We're always learning, even when some of those lessons are painful and problems we would not wish on anyone, even cancer. John Diamond said, "Cancer is a word, not a sentence." If someone you love is fighting cancer, she needs allies and people who are as generous with hope as they are with their time. When someone you love has cancer, it can be hard to know what to do for her-how can we help? Sometimes hope can come in the form of "comfort items", things we might not normally think of as being a big deal, but when they are given to someone who is fighting a disease, they can be tangible hope.

In 2005, Gail Ropel opened up a specialty store in Medford Oregon called Comfort Zone, which caters to women who are fighting breast cancer as well as other diseases.
