Sealy Nonprofits and Charities

<br>I was a foster fail with Sauver Des Chiens, adopting my foster dog after three months. She was rescued in Arkansas as a gunshot victim, and Sauver Des Chiens stepped in to provide her with the necessary medical care. They transported her to Louisiana, where she underwent rehabilitation before coming to me in 2019. I officially adopted her in early 2020. Sauver Des Chiens provided all the support and resources I needed to integrate her into my home successfully. Today, both of us volunteer for this dedicated group of volunteers, whose mission is to save dogs in need.

The greatest joy is in giving. I work every day in a cancer center and lose countless patients. But I believe I'm called. Called to be there, to hug and pray with families and hold them together through the most awful time of their lives. <br><br>Orphan diseases are the worst. They have no research funds, no ICD 10 codes, no way to track what the fall out is. Because we can't track orphan cancers we can't track the losses. <br><br>I can tell you in my small town of Fairbanks Alaska, we have had more than 10 women diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, four are dead, two are in the end of life. The horrible part is so many non profits spend o much money on salaries and expenses. The IBC Network Foundation is run completely by volunteers. They use gifts of mileage to fly around the country providing support and awareness. <br><br>Every penny made is put into research. Finding solutions and diagnostics markers for IBC. Meet Terry, she gives all of herself, her friends, everyone she knows.....it all goes to research. Please consider this small, but very important non profit. My husband and I have had some financial challenges over the past 4 years due to medical issues. We give $100 to every hunt for hope. Sometimes that means not enough money in our account. But it is THAT important. <br><br>I'm just a nurse. I am only one, but I am one. I can't do e dry thing but I can do something......and by the grace of God, I will do it. Join me, I will donate my winnings alongside yours. Maybe that will tip the kettles and find at least one piece of the puzzle.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Hannah Brice Smith, RNCN-BN<br>
