🌟 A Network of Heroes 🌟
Sometimes we underestimate how powerful a network of like-minded, compassionate people can be. 💛💙
At our recent Lions meeting, a guest shared the story of little Leanne (4), who has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Sertoli-Leydig – a very rare and aggressive cancer. The financial burden of getting Leanne from George to Cape Town for treatment was overwhelming her family.
💛 The Eden Lions Club reached out to Wings and Wishes, who immediately stepped in to arrange flights for Leanne and her mom, Nicolene.
💙When we learned that they have no accommodation for the three days of treatment next week, Eden Lions Club George reached out to Lion Freda Dodd in Cape Town, and she immediately contacted CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA, and accommodation, meals, and transport were secured.
This is the power of Lions. We are connected globally. Where there is a need, there is a Lion.
A vast network of caring hearts, connected by service, strengthened by partnerships with volunteers, organisations, sponsors, and donors. Together, we are stronger. Together, we give hope.
🙏 To every donor, every organisation, and every Lion who made this possible — thank you for showing that where there is a need, there is a Lion. 🦁
