Support RCC Grocery Card Drive!

We have so many patients and their families that need groceries while they are fighting their battle with cancer. RCC strives to fill in those gaps that conventional cancer treatments leave behind, especially when it comes to allotting for appropriate sustenance for the patient and their family. So we are starting a Grocery Card Drive!

Here are three examples where RCC steps in to provide groceries to cancer patients and their families.

1.       The mother of the family has cancer and she is battling for her life.  Who is going to feed the children while mom is bed ridden and struggling with the side effects of chemotheraphy?  Dad has so much on his shoulders as well. Taking time off work in this economy to take care of the children is not an option. RCC makes sure that there are meals and groceries available so that healing and recovering is foremost on the mind of the cancer patient and worries of putting dinner on the table are minimized.

2.       A 16 year old young girl has stepped up to prepare meals and feed her family.  She is trying to be so strong, but she really should be thinking about her college preparatory classes and her driver's education class.  However, her father, always having been the bread winner and provider for the family has an aggressive prostate cancer and has had to leave work.  The mother had never work outside of the home and now their family of 8 is living off of $800.00 per month disability.  How can this family juggle bills? RCC steps in to at least share food and prayer to help physically and spiritually.

3.       A single mother with five children finds out that her youngest, only 2 years old has Leukemia. She wants to be a good mom to all the children, but she is pulled so thin. Concerned about her 2 year-old when she arrives home from Children's hospital every evening, she realizes there are no groceries in the refrigerator to make food for the other children.  Mentally, physically, and spiritually strained, grocery shopping is last on the mother's mind as her little one gets blood taken all day and rounds of chemotherapy ransack her body while the other children are at school. RCC aids by delivering the groceries and staying to prepare the meals for the family.

 

The 3 above scenarios are real examples of the devastation of cancer all around the world and even in our backyards in San Diego County. We need your help to fund this program so we can help as many family as we can.

A donation of a grocery card of any amount helps get food on the tables of families in need and our volunteers into their homes for spiritual support and prayer. Will you please help?
