The monetary strain from treatment can make even the most basic of needs impossible to maintain. However, Rhodes has come up with a way to mix art and love into a solution. Glassybaby was born when she herself needed a little light to shine during chemotherapy and it is now an organization that has given over $890,000 to assist cancer fighters with everyday living costs that might become overwhelming.
