Gift Registry
WeGotThis.org is the first free nonprofit universal gift registry for cancer patients and caregivers.
Three easy steps
How it Works
Create a registry
Asking for help can be difficult, especially after a life-changing diagnosis. Knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Creating a free gift registry is a simple first step toward getting the support you need and deserve.
Add items from any website
Easily add items to your registry by pasting a product URL or using our browser-friendly Product Selector Tool. Not sure what to add to your registry? Browse our expertly curated product recommendations vetted by real cancer patients. Our inclusive filters help you find the relevant products and services based on your specific situation.
Share with friends & family
Now it's time to let your community know how they can best support you—trust us, they truly want to help. Share your registry with friends, family, or on social media. For even more support, reach out to us, and we’ll highlight your registry to the larger WGT community—you might be amazed by the response.
A Gift Registry for Cancer Thrivers and Supporters
We are here to remind you: its okay to ask for help. Our gift registry is a free tool designed to help patients and caregivers do just that.
How the Registry works for Cancer Thrivers
Sign up for free, add what you need from almost any retail website, and share your registry—it’s that easy. A simple way to ask for what you really need. A 'Thank You' email is sent automatically to your supporters for you.
Learn how Supporters get the most out of our Registry.
Search for your Cancer Thriver, follow the easy steps, and send the gifts they truly need—no guessing, just meaningful support that makes a difference
Anyone impacted by a cancer experience is welcome to create a registry. That may be the patient themselves or a family member, friend, caregiver and/or care provider.
Right now WeGotThis.org is specifically geared toward supporting those facing cancer, though we recognize that all chronic and terminal illnesses deserve the same level of support and community. Because WGT offers specific product recommendations and a resource directory designed with the cancer community in mind (because cancer is what we personally know), that is our current focus. If you have a unique circumstance please reach out to us at info@wegotthis.org.
Nope! The WeGotThis.org gift registry is 100% free.
Absolutely!
When you create your free registry account, you can choose to make your registry private. If set to private, only those with your shared link will have access and your registry won’t be searchable.
You can add any product or service to your registry from virtually any website. What you register for is entirely up to you. Some thrivers request things like mastectomy pillows and other thrivers request concert tickets - however you choose to thrive is valid.
Yes, you can add services from almost any website to your registry in addition to physical products.
Yes, you can activate the “donation” feature on your registry to collect monetary donations in lieu of or in addition to physical items or services. Monetary donations collected through your registry go directly to you through Stripe, a secure third party financial services platform that handles the transactions. You do not need to register for physical items in order to set up your Stripe account to accept monetary donations on your registry.
Sharing a loved one’s registry on social media is a great way to help support a cancer patient in a non-monetary way.
If at any time your needs change, you can easily log in to your account and remove and/or add new items and/or services as needed.
We would be happy to feature your registry on our social media and/or our monthly newsletter. If you are interested in being features, please fill out this form HERE.
Yes, you can delete your registry account by logging into your account, click on your registry, go to the bottom left hand side (under Quicklinks menu) and select “Delete Registry”. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Please fill out our technical support form HERE.
Deleting your registry will not affect your Stripe account. Since Stripe is a third-party financial institution, closing your registry does not impact your Stripe account, and similarly, closing your Stripe account will not affect the status of your WeGotThis registry.
“WeGotThis.org has helped me feel comfortable leaning on friends and family.”
I made a registry, shared it on Facebook and my list was almost fully purchased within a few hours. This has taken so much stress and anxiety out of a scary situation!”

"I wish this was around when I was first diagnosed..."
"I just recently discovered WeGotThis.org, and while I feel guilty asking for help with my registry, I am happy that I can introduce this organization to every new cancer friend I meet. I wish this was around when I was first diagnosed because it is a wonderful idea, and hope that it continues to grow.”

"Elissa and the WeGotThis organization has stepped in to join me in celebration when I finished chemotherapy"
“Elissa and the WeGotThis organization has stepped in to join me in celebration when I finished chemotherapy, provided a makeup artist to apply eyebrow makeup which made me feel so good, and they have helped me in locating financial resources.”

"When I got my diagnosis so many people came forward asking how they could help me. "
“It was overwhelming trying to think of things to ask for, especially since my needs changed almost daily. WeGotThis.org has allowed me to always have a list of things that can make my life more comfortable and more enjoyable, and it's great that I can update and change things as my life and needs change.”
