Mission & Values

Mission

Sick Humor Supply Co. exists to help people with chronic illness feel seen, connected, and a little more human — through honest designs that bring levity to the hard stuff.

What That Means

I’m not here to glamorize being sick, and I’m definitely not here for toxic positivity. This brand is built on the belief that we can talk about the hard stuff — the fatigue, the flare days, the gaslighting, the grief — and still find moments that make us laugh or feel understood.

Every product is created from real experience, a little defiance, and a whole lot of “same.”

What I Value

Authenticity – No performative wellness. Just real, lived experience.

Levity – Because sometimes laughing is the only thing that doesn’t hurt.

Representation – Chronic illness deserves more than sad, gray awareness ribbons.

Connection – If something I make helps you feel seen, then it’s doing its job.

Accessibility – I believe in inclusive sizing, no gatekeeping, and letting people show up as they are.

Sustainability – I launched with a core line of affordable, high-quality tees that aren’t sustainability-certified — because I wanted to keep the shop financially accessible from the start. I know many in the chronic illness and disability communities are navigating not just health challenges, but economic ones, too.

That said, sustainability matters — to me and to many of you — which is why I created The Good Shirt Series. Every shirt in this line is made with certified organic cotton, ethically sourced and responsibly produced. The fabric holds certifications from GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), OCS (Organic Content Standard), OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and is PETA-Approved Vegan. It’s a premium option for people who want to feel good in their clothes — and about them.

Giving Back – I created The Good Shirt Series to do more than just make people feel seen — it gives back. $1 from every shirt sold in these themed drops is donated to nonprofits supporting chronic illness communities. Donation recipients, totals, and receipts are shared semi-annually on the blog, because transparency should be the standard, not the exception.

New drops are released on the 15th of each month — each one highlighting a different theme, message, or experience from the chronic illness community.

Grace – I try to give people the benefit of the doubt — and I ask the same in return. Chronic illness is messy. So is life. I’m creating this brand as one chronically ill person doing her best, and I know I won’t get everything right. But I always lead with good intent, and I welcome kind, thoughtful conversations along the way.
