A FRESH CHAPTER'S 2019 PERU ODYSSEY PROGRAM

by A Fresh Chapter

Lynne Eldridge

Though I love my advocacy work with lung cancer (and plan to continue), I’ve felt a restlessness in my soul. A deep soul-wrenching awareness that I’m not using my experience with my own breast cancer to the degree to which I'm called; haunted by late night thoughts saying “What am I doing to help those who are facing this dreaded disease, but without the resources we have here or even good food to eat?" I'm thrilled to share that I've been selected to participate in A Fresh Chapter's 2019 Peru Odyssey Program. For two weeks in November I will travel with fellow cancer survivors to Peru, volunteering with local organizations to provide support to children and adults with cancer; a disease that's often veiled in secrecy, shame, and stigma. Donations will be used to cover program-related costs, with any additional money raised used to help others who wish to volunteer but are limited by finances. If you can donate any amount to join me in my efforts in Peru, I'd be incredibly grateful. That said, prayers are equally appreciated for me to be effective, the Fresh Chapter tribe, and the people of Peru.

 

 

AFC empowers those affected by cancer to heal, connect, and serve others while reclaiming their lives.

A Fresh Chapter's Peru Odyssey Program offers an innovative support model that blends volunteering, meaningful travel, and the support, tools and resources for cancer survivors to reframe adversity and redefine what’s possible in their lives.  For two weeks in November 2019, our participants will travel to Peru with fellow cancer survivors.  While there, they will volunteer with local organizations that provide support to cancer patients, the elderly, underserved children, or those living with disabilities. They will also get to experience AFC’s innovative psychosocial support model exploring the emotional impact of cancer.  They will return home with new perspective, leadership skills, and the opportunity to continue to give back in their local communities.
 
Donations will be used to cover program related costs.  If your employer participates in a matching program you can submit a match for your donation.  Please choose the charity "Fresh Chapter Alliance Foundation via SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENTREPRENEURS SEE INC."  Please add a note with the participant's name when you submit the company match.
