The school year had barely begun when students at Warren East High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky, received heartbreaking news: Mrs. Brown, their 35-year-old art teacher, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Having seen loved ones battle cancer, these students knew the road ahead wouldn’t be easy. But in conversations with Mrs. Brown, three teens discovered a challenge they’d never considered—finding port-accessible clothing for chemotherapy.

Instead of standing by, they took action.

With donated materials, sewing skills, and a deep desire to help, they launched ChemoComfort—a student-led initiative providing free port-accessible shirts for cancer patients in their community.
