Our Story

Hello! I’m Niki Motz, founder of Kit Well. With the help of my family, I launched Kit Well in 2024 in Bloomington, Indiana, but the idea began many years earlier.

As a nurse and new mother working in a college town, I cared for many college students when they were sick. I found myself worrying about them the way I worried about my own children. I would recommend simple comforts like warm soup, tea with honey, throat lozenges, and plenty of rest, only to send them back to dorm rooms or apartments without the basic supplies they needed to feel better.

I often wished I could simply make a trip to the store for them. I wanted them to feel cared for and supported, even when they were far from home.

The idea took on new meaning in 2020, when people everywhere were isolated and relying on friends, family, and neighbors for care from a distance. I realized that the need for a thoughtful delivery of comfort wasn’t limited to college students. Sometimes, everyone needs a little extra care.

That realization eventually became Kit Well.

Each kit is thoughtfully curated from my experiences as a nurse and a mother, with practical remedies and comforting essentials designed to make being sick a little easier.

Being sick is a part of life, but I believe a little preparation, comfort, and care can make a difficult day feel much better. That belief is at the heart of Kit Well.

Thank you for being here and for taking the time to get to know Kit Well.

Take good care,
Niki
