Resilience Care Boxes
What does your broken place look like?
Everyone has one. Sickness, betrayal, financial stress, job loss, family issues, pandemic anxiety that just keeps hanging on. It doesn’t seem possible when we’re standing in the middle of it, but some of the biggest miracles and breakthroughs come from those broken places.
The mission of Lisa Bain Ministries came out of a cry to the Lord, a plea for vision in the middle of darkness. One of the beautiful things to emerge was our Resilience Boxes, a tangible way to help someone walk through their own broken place.
As our team gathered to pray over what we would include in these care packages, we realized the items should come from the hands of those who knew their own broken place. These people have stories of healing and freedom that need to be shared. Quilts, necklaces, books, journals, cards, pillows, money/gas cards, and other comforting items and items tailored to fit the recipients need, will be placed prayerfully in these boxes.
We have chosen each one to carry a story that creates a personal connection, assuring the recipient they are not alone, and someone cares deeply for them. We have even included a note explaining the meaning behind every item in the care box.
Boxes for Cancer Warriors
Walking through serious illness can bring feelings of loneliness, despair, and fear. We know how meaningful it is for a patient to receive encouragement at just the right time. Our Resilience Boxes are filled with items to bring practical help and warm comfort on the health journey:
stuffed Mabel Joy pups
handmade necklace
Feel the Rain Book
prayer quilts
spa bags
money/gas cards
lighted bead necklace
water bottle
t-shirt
a cozy robe
coloring books & pencils
neck pillow
house shoes/socks
journal
These items are designed to make treatment easier and bring a smile to the face of each patient. Boxes and bags are packed prayerfully, and we include a personal note of encouragement for each recipient. Our therapy dogs Mabel, Maddie and Moose are with us on many of the delivery visits, and their presence brings much-needed laughter and warm fur to snuggle into. Your sponsorship of Cancer Warrior Resilience Boxes and Bags will allow us to help even more patients who are walking the cancer journey this year.

The Story Behind Resilience Care Boxes
A few years ago, I ordered a Kintsugi necklace, a small piece of art symbolizing the beauty of mended brokenness in the master’s hand. It reminds me that our scars aren’t flaws but evidence of God’s redemption. As we began praying over the Resilience Boxes, I felt led to include one of these necklaces. I reached out to the creator, unsure she’d respond—but she did. An hour-long conversation revealed a divine connection. Two women familiar with brokenness became partners, united by a shared desire to bring hope. Her necklaces, inspired by our Broken to Breakthrough logo, are now part of each box.
The Resilience Boxes also include handmade quilts, created by our incredible quilting ladies, who faithfully show up to sew every week. Each quilt is tied with prayers and accompanied by a handwritten note and photo of the women who made it—an intimate connection from creator to recipient.
Before the boxes leave, we pray specifically for each person receiving them, asking God to lift their broken places and fill them with hope. Every item is chosen with care, meant to remind recipients they are not alone. Resilience is the ability to rise from difficulty, and these boxes are arms of love, wrapping around those in need, offering comfort and a reminder that beauty can shine even in the darkest moments.
Together, we can walk out of the storm.
