What We Do For Cancer Patients . . .
Victory
in the Valley's, Transportation Program provides much more than just a ride to treatment
for someone facing cancer. It's an opportunity to receive hope, encouragement, and support
from someone who truly understands much of what you are going through and cares.
Established in 1995, the Transportation Program provides a ride to treatment for cancer
patients who are unable to drive themselves, or who would have to rely on a family member
or friend for a ride. In 2006, our drivers traveled approximately 50,000 miles in the
Wichita and Hutchinson areas, transporting cancer patients to their cancer-related appointments, all at no
charge to them.
Victory in the Valley Transportation Vans have been purchased
with the generous donations provided through the fundraising efforts of
caring individuals and organizations.
What If It Was You?
Imagine that you are retired after working faithfully at your job
for over 40 years. Suddenly, you learn that you have cancer! All of your plans for an
enjoyable retirement are changed in an instant! The cancer leaves you feeling weak, sick,
and with an overwhelming sense of helplessness and sometimes hopelessness. You are alone!
How will you ever cope?
This is just one of the many situations that Victory in the Valley sees daily. What a
joy to see the relief on the face of this woman, and others like her, who no longer have
to worry about a safe and comfortable ride to treatment. And what a humbling experience
for
us to receive a crumpled envelope with 60 cents inside, because she wanted to give back
something to show her appreciation.
What Can You Do To Help?
Each donation given to the Transportation Program helps fund another trip to treatment
for someone who may have otherwise had to forego treatment because of a need for
transportation. Your gift not only helps underwrite this vital program, but even
more importantly, touches the lives of real people with encouragement and hope.
