Gems of Hope

From their website: "Gems of Hope Inc. is a nonprofit organization that offers gifts of jewelry mounted on inspirational cards to cancer patients. The patients are invited, along with family and friends, to attend workshops to create these works of art for others."  

On the home page the user immediately sees a slide show of pictures to introduce them to Gems of Hope.
