We were overwhelmed by the support and love we received this past holiday season for our families.
This past holiday season:
- We connected 21 families with Anna’s Wish for sponsorship
- We connected 19 families with private sponsorships (from friends of C.U.R.E.)
- We sponsored 20 families through C.U.R.E.
