the lid , apply the cream , close the lid , and go about your day . Whether it ’ s a seatbelt pressing against it during the drive to the infusion center or a bra strap brushing against it , Port Protect stays put . It keeps the numbing cream where it belongs and prevents that inevitable mess . Then , when it ’ s time for the infusion , just peel it off . Simple . Practical . Game-changing .
A hug for your Port
But the true magic of Port Protect goes beyond its function . It ’ s in the lives it ’ s touching . Take , for instance , the little boy who uses Port Protect and lovingly refers to it as ‘ a hug for my port .’ Imagine that — a device that makes a child feel safe , that turns what was once a source of anxiety into something comforting . For a kid fighting cancer using Port Protect , that kind of comfort is beyond valuable . It ’ s life-changing . Children , with their innocent wisdom , often reveal truths that adults miss . That boy ’ s simple statement — a hug for his port — speaks volumes . It captures the heart of Jamie ’ s creation . This medical device is an emotional balm for patients who have to deal with more than most people will ever face in a lifetime . In the infusion centers , Jamie has seen it all — adults struggling , children crying as they ’ re held down for port access and the all-too-familiar sight of plastic wrap sloppily covering ports , doing little to ease the pain . And that ’ s why she created Port Protect — to offer a much-needed solution to ease suffering .
Beyond the product
Jamie didn ’ t stop at just creating the product . Her mission is to help as many people as possible , particularly children . Port Protect , now patented , is making its way into hospitals , infusion centers and the lives of patients around the world . Doctors and nurses are noticing . Families are sharing their stories and slowly but surely , what started as the solution to personal frustration is becoming a movement for change .
But Jamie ’ s vision goes beyond just selling a product . She ’ s passionate about giving back . When a child needs Port Protect , Jamie often refunds the order . She believes no child should ever have to pay for something that can bring them comfort during such a difficult time . Port Protect is a business , but to Jamie , it ’ s also about kindness and making a difference in people ’ s lives when they need it most .
A future full of hope
Even as she battles with her own chronic illnesses , Jamie is determined to keep growing Port Protect . She dreams of working with nonprofit organizations , partnering with hospitals like St . Jude ’ s and making sure that this small , simple solution reaches every patient who needs it — whether they can afford it or not .
Jamie ’ s journey from attorney to inventor wasn ’ t one she ever anticipated , but it ’ s one that ’ s making waves in the medical world . Port Protect proves that even in the face of adversity , one person can make a world of difference .
So , here ’ s to Jamie and her brave , brilliant creation . Here ’ s to the small inventions that have a massive impact and here ’ s to the hugs — both literal and metaphorical — that we all need every once in a while , especially when life gets hard , especially when we ’ re sick and especially when something as simple as a peel-and-stick product can make all the difference in the world .
