CAREDAYS - offers for Cancer Patients
Those of you who read the Paphos Post will know that your
charity has exceeded all expectations in raising money from our 5k x 1000km fun
walk and have now looked after over 1,100 patients mainly in Cyprus and
South Africa .
I copy below just three of the many lovely comments we have
received:
Fatima: ” Where do I
begin? Care Days has such a big impact on our patients’ lives. Some never
been out of Cape Town , seen an ocean or eaten out. Never had a birthday
party. Care Days comes and looks after us and gives us all these things I
love helping them as a volunteer and patient .. I just love Care Days
...wearing their shirt.
I love talking to everyone I meet about Care Days and just love the smile on faces Care Days bring by being there for all of us. "
Samantha “ Through
CANSA/Care Days , God has shown us that he has not forgotten about us .”
Aziza survivor:"
Helping others makes me feel happy. God assigned Care Days to Andrew and
Jenny in S Africa. They make you feel you are not alone. Recently at a Care Days outing was the first
time I found love...meeting such people who understand about cancer . I feel
like a free bird seeing others. You are in my family’s life as
well. I see the hand of God in sending Care Days to us ."
These comments made us cry as
we never realised the privilege we were being granted to help so many others .
Clearly in S.Africa getting
together with other cancer patients makes a real difference to helping them
feel less alone and more positive so we wondered if the same might apply here
in Cyprus?
We absolutely understand that
meeting other cancer patients may not be what YOU want but if any of you feel
it would help you, please write to Charlotte at caredayscyprus@aol.com and she will
put together a list of those interested in meeting occasionally.
In
the meantime, we would like to draw your attention to the offer at the
beautiful Droushia Heights Hotel, with stunning distant views of the
Troodos gently dropping into the sea near Pomos, great views of Chrysochou Bay
and Latchi, 9 kms away, a fabulous pool, great food and lovely staff.
We are offering 1 night plus
great breakfast free of charge to all patients recently diagnosed with cancer
or still bring treated for cancer between now and June 30th and September 1st
to December 25th, Monday to Thursday nights only.
This is a fabulous offer made
possible by the generosity of the hotel and it is a place to really chill out .
Please apply on the Booking Form on our website: http://www.caredayscyprus.com
Secondly, it is Care Days 5th birthday in July and following the success of our third birthday party at the lovely L'Chateau we would like to invite you to either drinks at Sentiero seafront restaurant Sea Caves one afternoon or maybe a trip to the Blue Lagoon on the lovely Mediterranean One in Latchi from 10.30 to 1.00.....or maybe even both with one later in the year! Care Days will of course pay for these as part of our Care Days treats.
Please will you do us a favour and write to Charlotte with your preference and we will see what we can do to make it special!
On March 22nd 450 cancer patients walked 5k over 4 Continents to
support Care Days and at 10 a.m. We all shouted out:
" We are stronger than cancer!"
Stay strong.
