A Light on Chronic Illness offers care to people living with long-term and often invisible health conditions.
People living with chronic illness often manage a variety of symptoms, uncertainty, and disruption that reshape daily life. Chronic illness can change life in quiet ways — affecting energy, identity, relationships, and a sense of stability. Many people navigate these challenges without visible markers of illness or consistent support.
This project focuses on care to people living with long-term and often invisible health conditions. Through this initiative, Think with Heart creates care bags designed specifically for people living with a variety of chronic conditions. These care bags are distributed through clinics and medical partners and are intended to offer comfort, steadiness, and recognition.
Care bags for people living with chronic illness are assembled with the rhythms of ongoing care in mind. Items are chosen to support moments of rest – small comforts, practical essentials and a handwritten note — offered simply to create a pause and a sense of presence in hard moments, without expectation or advice.
