Part of our mission at Endure to Cure is to help children and their families bridge the scary abyss of harsh cancer treatments and provide a little hope when it is needed most. Our generous supporters combine with the efforts of our valiant Team Endure to Cure members to help these children endure their treatments with a little more vigor and energy by fulfilling some of their simplest wishes.  These small wishes usually result in emotional boost providing hope beyond measure.

Our most recent grant went to Frank, who is currently fighting cancer in a Chicago-area hospital. Frank was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the summer of 2011. His diagnosis requires frequent and aggressive treatments. Frank was traveling to and from the hospital five days per week, with a three hour round-trip drive to the hospital.

He began having increased anxiety on these trips and the length of time in the car with no distractions and this added additional, unnecessary hardship on both Frank and his mom. Frank’s wish was for a Nintendo 3DS and some games to help pass the time. “Thank you and a huge hug to everyone that supports Bear Necessities. Frank was so happy to receive the 3DS gift, and surprised by all the games/accessories included.

Frank’s mother passes along her gratitude to everyone who made this gift possible:

“We drive to and from treatment five days every week. The gift has greatly improved Frank’s travel. We appreciate all the caring hearts involved with Bear Necessities, and the joy you’ve brought to Frank. Love and Thanks.”

Thank you to all of our selfless donors and sponsors who supported our Team Endure to Cure members from around the world to make this possible.  If you are interested in becoming somebody’s hero today, click here to learn more!
