The details, as published

B-ALL is in scope Open

JZips provides free adaptive shirts with two strategically placed zippers for children and teens undergoing cancer treatment with a mediport. A parent, caregiver, or other loved one uses the live public request form and supplies U.S.-style shipping, child, and shirt-size information; no referral or financial test is published. The site discusses young adults but the current impact report describes AYA service as an expansion area, so current unrestricted young-adult eligibility should be confirmed.
