Who We Are
Hero Hearts Unite is a compassion-driven brand dedicated to bringing comfort, strength, and hope to individuals facing illness. Founded by survivor Nina Thomson, our mission was inspired by the day her life changed with a difficult diagnosis. A moment that transformed fear into purpose.
We create intentionally curated gift boxes designed to soothe, uplift, and remind every warrior that they are never alone. Each item is chosen with care, guided by real experience, real healing, and a heart committed to making someone's hardest days feel a little lighter.
Hero Hearts Unite is more than a brand, we are a movement of hearts united in courage, love, and support.
Why I Created Hero Hearts Unite
Through my treatment, I realized how deeply clean skincare, soft comforts, and emotional support can impact someone going through a serious illness. I created Hero Hearts Unite to bring comfort, healing, and dignity to people facing cancer, chronic illness, autoimmune disease, and recovery.
My mission is simple: to make healing gentler for every warrior that fights.
My Story - The Day Everything Changed
December 4, 2023 was the day my smile disappeared, and fear quietly entered my world. My doctor waited until that Monday to call, not wanting to ruin my last weekend of living without fear. I hung up the phone and cried, in shock - unable to comprehend the words I had just heard.
My husband was right beside me, strong and calm, finishing the call with my doctor. We sat in disbelief — you think you're healthy until the moment you're told you're not.
After that day, everything moved quickly.
Appointments, surgeries, and difficult decisions. On the day of my double mastectomy, I came home from surgery feeling empty and exhausted, wishing it was all just a nightmare. But it was real. My husband never left my side, and all of my dear friends visited to provide support and care.
Through the fear, one truth became clear: I refused to be a victim. On March 20, I started chemotherapy - 12 rounds, followed by a year of targeted treatment. It was a long, painful journey, but I fought through every day with hope and faith.
