| Greetings! | |
Cancer Support Community creates opportunities for all of us to grow through the journey of cancer together. This journey reminds us what is truly important: to appreciate our family and friends, to make every day meaningful, to accept help when we need it, and to give help when we can.
We have been blessed to share the journey with over 18,000 people affected by cancer since we opened our home in Walnut Creek in 1990. And we've been able to support another 350 cancer patients and their families at our new home in Mountain View since we opened a year ago.
To help make that possible, we send appeals to our supporters in the spring and fall. Soon you should receive our spring appeal by letter and email. I hope you know how grateful we are for your generosity and compassion, and with your help we will always be here for anyone who is dealing with cancer.
Wishing you wellness,
James Bouquin
Executive Director
