Cole's Cards was created during the hardest time in my life.
During my Dad's cancer journey, I found myself sitting with him at appointments and hospital waiting rooms searching for meaningful ways to support him. I wanted something that could make him smile on the hard days. Something that felt honest. Something that said "I see you. I'm with you. You're not alone." - sprinkled with a little humor (my Dad's favorite).
The greeting cards I found often felt generic and impersonal-nothing felt right.
So, I began creating my own.
What began as a couple simple cards of encouragement for my Dad slowly evolved into a carefully curated collection of encouragement cards designed specifically for patients and caregivers navigating difficult seasons.
The cards are meant to be gentle, honest, uplifting, humorous, and authentic- without minimizing reality and the weight of what someone might be carrying.
Cole's Cards is rooted in lived experience and exists to bring comfort, connection, and quiet strength to hospital rooms, waiting areas, appointments, and homes everywhere.
Because even the smallest gesture can remind someone they are not alone.
