Imagine Christmas with no presents and no food for the children. That was the situation in Brazil, when the Curitiba Cancer Hospital contacted us. Receiving no government finances, the hospice is home to many children with terminal cancer. Immediately we responded with hundreds of presents and months of food supplies. The Hospice Director, expresses the gratitude of the children to you precious donors, when she writes: “How can we ever say ‘Thank You’? We had cancelled our annual Christmas meal at the Children’s Cancer Hospice, as we had no food or finances, and receive no government support. The children were so upset, as it was all they had to look forward to. You see, the sad reality is, their parents have left them here to be cared for until they die. Then ECHO came to the rescue … not only providing food for Christmas and the New Year Celebrations, but for weeks to come and hundreds of present for the children. It means so much to them as for many this may be their last Christmas.”
