I love life! My family has been blessed with good health and financial stability. But I don’t take either of these things for granted. In my youth, my family went through a few particularly difficult times that taught me early about the fragility of life.
It was thanks in large part to support from family, friends, and even strangers that my parents made it through these times. We were blessed that when my little sister needed open-heart surgery at age two we had a state of the art hospital and an amazing surgeon within a short drive.
Illness doesn’t discriminate. Disease can strike whether you’re rich or poor, old or young. Illness is no respecter of where you live either. It would be nice if we could all conveniently have state of the art treatment facilities and hospitals near us, but that simply isn’t the case.
It is because of this the American Cancer Society has created “Finish the Fight”, a program that allows you to help cancer patients in need.
Watch the video to see what you can do to help.
Before I donate money to an organization or cause I ask myself, “If I were in this situation what would I hope others would do/give?” $10 is an amount that many of us can afford to give.
If you are ready to partner with the American Cancer Society to provide lodging so cancer patience can receive treatment simply follow the directions at the end of the video above.
