experienced this same journey as we have... Then right there in the middle of all of it is CURE and
you super awesome folks who have become our family as well.”
A father shared with us, “The day we got to the Aflac Cancer Center floor, a volunteer from
CURE dished up a good Italian meal for me. I’m not sure I could have done it myself – my hands
were shaky and I don’t think I had eaten in at least two days. Serving meals seems like such a little
thing and it is such a big thing, in reality. I know CURE is much more than that, but it is a great
hands-on service to the patients and family.”
We also hosted spectacular holiday parties in both Atlanta and Savannah and matched 66 donors
with families needing holiday assistance. In February, we held our largest ever Weekend of Hope
and Healing for families who have lost children to cancer, and last August, we held a marriage
enrichment workshop for parents who have lost children to cancer. We launched a new counseling
program, enabling families to receive professional counseling at minimal to no cost.
Through all of our efforts, our ultimate goal is to cure a cruel disease and help our families through
one of life’s most difficult trials. We can only do our work with the support of many, many people,
organizations, groups and businesses. We are grateful you enable our work and grateful for the
opportunity to be the instruments through which this important work is done. Thank you, from the
bottom of our hearts for giving so much to CURE.
With hope,
