3 Little Birds 4 Life |
It is a nonprofit organization that supports people with cancer between age 25 - 55. From their site: an organization that is passionate about giving adults currently managing cancer the experience of living life as if they were never diagnosed with cancer. While it is certainly right to give attention and care to children and elderly people with cancer, those between the ages of 25 and 55 often are forgotten and lost in the shuffle. We want to make sure that people in this age group have a daily wish granted and are given the resources they might need to find help in all aspects on their journey. |
