Support organization

One Tough Cookie

One Tough Cookie accepts direct self- and third-party nominations for patient, caregiver, and celebratory care packages or parades. Nominations are reviewed monthly, selection is not guaranteed, and high demand may delay review and delivery. The organization also publishes a broader Pick-Me-Up and wellness-support community, but no separate intake is published for that material.
