Nana Sally, my amazing and talented mom, has offered her time and talent to alter the shirts to meet the kids individual needs. Like Drew, the kids get their, ports, Pics, and other IV lines accessed when getting chemo either at clinic or in-patient. These shirts will help the nurses access them with ease while providing our little heros with a cool shirt.
Why?

February 20th 2023 is the 6th anniversary of Drew's diagnosis, aka cancerversary! 🎗️In honor of Drew, we started a Not-For Profit organization to provide Port Access Shirts to fellow fighters at Children's Milwaukee and elsewhere. We know firsthand how even a small thing can make a difference in the daily lives of our little fighters.
A childs smile is our goal

Our Mission
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community.
With the funds being raised we are purchasing shirts and snaps to create the port access for kiddos.

Shirts are available through the request form link at the end of this site or can be picked up at the MACC clinic. Not all sizes or styles are available at the Clinic.
What Are Tubie Tees ?????
Access Ports
Ports go to the Heart of our Heros
Access Ports
A port is used in some children who need IV therapy for a long period of time. IV therapy includes medications such as chemotherapy

Access Ports
Nanas Tubie Tees was started to help kids when their port is accessed with this needle by nurses while on Chemotherapy. Kids call the plastic tubing that connects their port to the IV pole "tubies"

These devices are surgically placed and are totally implanted into tissue that is directly under the skin, most often on the chest

What is a port access t-shirt? Simply it is a tee shirt that easly opens up and exposes the port on a childs chest. We can 't make the procedure easier on a child but hopefully a kid friendly shirt may make it a little more comfortable.

We add snaps to shirts that kiddos like to wear, so they don't have to wear hospital gowns, take their shirts off or gather their shirts around their necks. We shop around for the current popular styes and then add snaps to facilitate access.

Click the tab below to request a Tubie Tee for a child you know that is receiving treatment via a port. Help us put a smile on their face. We regret to inform you that due to significant increases in shirt and postage costs and lack of contributions. On our fixed budget we can no longer continue to serve everyone without requesting a small fee for shipping. We have todate provided over 900 shirts to MACC Center and Heroes in 38 states. We will continue to serve all Wisconsin residents through the MACC Center at Childrens Hospital, Wisconsin.
Thank you for your understanding
Help Our Cause
Your support and contributions will enable us to provide a Nana's Tubie Tees shirt to every child that request one as well as supply MACC with enough shirts to give to children on site. Your generous donation will help fund our mission. We have provided over 950 shirts, while we wish there was no need for port shirts, reality is what it is, so with your help we will continue to provide shirts and smiles to our little heroes wherever and whenever we can.

I wanted to thank you so very much! They are absolutely perfect, I was crying when I opened them! Tears of joy of course. So thoughtful. It truly means a lot. She is going to be so comfy and cozy, not to mention stylish while wearing them!
