One Tough Cookie, based in Stamford, CT, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a simple yet powerful mission: to create moments where, even for a short time, cancer doesn’t exist and is replaced with hope and joy.

 Through heartfelt care packages, uplifting events, and our Pick-Me-Up Corner—filled with affirmations, eBooks, music, games, and more—we aim to bring light and positivity into your journey. Whether you’re beginning treatment, preparing to start, or supporting someone as a caregiver or nurse, we are here to walk alongside you, offering compassion, love, and a mental escape when it’s needed most.

 Most importantly we are here to remind you that CANCER SUCKS but it doesn’t have to make you crumble!
