Support organization
JZips provides free adaptive shirts with strategically placed zippers that allow medical-port access during cancer treatment without requiring the patient to fully undress. A parent, caregiver, or loved one can use the live public form to request a shirt for a child and provide U.S.-style shipping and size information; numeric age limits, repeat requests, inventory, and delivery time are not published. JZips also supplies hospitals and clinics with ongoing shirt inventory, but families must confirm stock at a participating facility because the partner page is not a complete current directory. The organization describes young-adult expansion, but current direct-request rules remain child-oriented, so unrestricted AYA eligibility should not be assumed. A public survivorship blog offers lived-experience reflections about treatment, college, late effects, and peer connection.
