The Portal Patch Fleece was born from real life, real hardship, and real love.
Created during the founder’s journey supporting her husband Dominic through cancer treatment after military service, one thing became clear: there was a gap in clothing for those walking through treatment. Traditional clothing often made port access uncomfortable, exposing, or inconvenient.
So we created something different.
The Portal Patch Fleece is a soft, functional fleece designed with a built-in discreet portal access opening, allowing easier access during port treatments without sacrificing warmth, dignity, or comfort.
Designed for fighters, survivors, and those in the middle of the battle, this fleece was built to provide comfort in the moments it’s needed most.
Why it matters:
• Discreet port access for treatment convenience
• Soft, warm fleece for comfort during long appointments
• Designed to help preserve dignity during care
• Functional for everyday wear—not just treatment days
• Thoughtfully created from lived experience
But this is bigger than clothing.
Portal Patch Fleece is part of the Vaspire316 mission—building a faith-driven community rooted in strength, hope, and support for those impacted by cancer.
A portion of proceeds helps support cancer-related initiatives, research, and families walking through the fight.
Because no one should ever fight alone.
Built for Comfort. Designed for the Fight. Wear the Mission.

Sizing & Fit
The Portal Patch Fleece is intentionally designed with a slightly relaxed fit to provide extra comfort during treatment days, recovery, and everyday wear. The fleece fits soft and roomy for easy movement, layering, and all-day comfort.
Available in XS–XL.
For a more fitted feel, we recommend sizing down if you are between sizes.
Patch Feature
Each Portal Patch Fleece includes a built-in hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) patch panel, designed to allow personalization and purpose.
Every fleece comes with a complimentary patch included with purchase (such as a flag or mission-inspired design), so your piece arrives ready to wear.
The removable patch system gives you the freedom to make it your own—whether that’s honoring service, showing support, representing faith, or carrying a personal symbol that matters to you.
Future patch collections will be released separately, allowing you to customize your fleece over time with new designs and meaningful additions.
Included patch design may vary based on availability.
The Story Behind “Veteran Zero”
Printed on the back of each Portal Patch Fleece is the phrase Veteran Zero — a tribute rooted in Dominic’s story.
During his cancer journey following military service, Dominic was given the nickname Veteran Zero through the work of the HunterSeven Foundation, an organization dedicated to researching toxic exposures and advocating for veterans impacted by service-related environmental hazards.
Through their support and research, HunterSeven helped identify and trace many of the toxins connected to Dominic’s exposure, helping build awareness and pathways for other veterans walking similar roads.
The phrase Veteran Zero represents more than a name—it represents the beginning of awareness, advocacy, and change.
Placed on the back of the fleece, it serves as a reminder of something simple but powerful:
You’re never fighting alone.
Someone always has your back.
A symbol of protection.
A symbol of service.
A symbol of support.
