Dear Sir/Madame,
We have some wonderful news to share with you! For the past two years we have been working on a solution to help with providing resources to cancer patients and their families. If you have ever been a victim of this disease, you know that trying to navigate through the challenges of cancer can strain you and your loved ones mentally, spiritually and financially.
Glenda Cousar, (CEO), has been an RN for 35 years and specialized in Oncology Nursing for 27 years. She has heard the cry of many families as well as assisted them with locating and connecting them to the many different resources in the community. Because of this need, Angela Ballard (Clinical Researcher) and Barbara Grant-Proctor (Financial Educator) teamed up with Ms. Cousar to assist the families in our community looking for a one-stop organization that can offer support to help them navigate through everyday life logistics.
We are very excited about this and hope you will be too! We are reaching out to our community leaders to help us make this non-profit a success and assist us in helping the numerous families that are "suffering in silence" with this disease.
So far our efforts have been successful but we are ready to take the organization to the next level. And with that, we are in search for an individual that has a gift for grant writing and fundraising. Could you be the person we are looking for?
