I have Stage Four Breast Cancer.  I have been having chemotherapy for over 6 years now.  I have been in the hospital once for an infection and just last year for congestive heart failure.  I have more challenges with my health as we continue to fight to get well.  I am very grateful for each day I am still alive.  One day as I was waiting for my turn to have chemotherapy I noticed a flier about The Cache Valley for Hope Foundation that had just been organized.  I took it home and showed my husband.  We thought about their mission and goals.  We got on the website and read about those who were organizing this group.  Finally my husband decided to nominate me to see if we could get some help.

The first thing that Cache Valley for Hope did for us was put a new tile floor and a higher toilet in our bathroom.  That made it so much easier for me in the bathroom.  They gave us gift cards from Smith’s that helped us with gas, groceries, and a few things that we wanted to get for Christmas.  Then they had food from Smith’s brought to our home for a Christmas dinner.  They brought much more than enough for a meal.  It was more like a shopping cart full of a variety of food for us to use.  We were able to pay more on our medical bills because we didn’t need to pay for gas and groceries for a month.  It was such a relief to know that there is that kind of help available here in our valley.

We really appreciate all that was done for us by the Cache Valley for Hope Cancer Foundation.  We also are grateful for the many people who have donated to this foundation for the purpose of helping families who are dealing with cancer and the financial concerns that they have to deal with.

Thank you again.
