Maria
Elena Moreno "Nena" courageously fought ovarian cancer for two years.
During her battle she never ceased to worry or think about others.
Especially during difficult times from the side effects of chemo, she
would always think of the children also battling this horrible disease.
She would say "I would fight cancer 100 times if that meant children
didn't have to go through this awful disease".
implement Beads of Courage at the Children's Clinic in Tucson to support children.
All
donations made in Nena's name will provide Beads of Courage to children
coping with cancer that are currently on a wait list to receive the
program. No donation is too small to help make a difference. Everytime
donations total an increment of $100, Nena will become the wingman of a
child coping with cancer. The child will receive the Beads of Courage
program in honor of the life and legacy of Nena.
Someone who flies beside you and protects you.
Someone watches your back when you think you are flying solo.
Kids coping with serious illness need a WINGMAN to help them get their Beads of Courage. This includes over 400 children on the waiting list to get Beads in the Mail – some waiting several months or more.
Your donation of $100 will sponsor a child for Beads in the Mail for one year. They will receive:
- Beads of Courage in the mail for a full year.
- A pewter WINGMAN Bead of Courage packaged with a note of encouragement that you write at checkout.
- A note describing their Wingman Nena, who's life and legacy was filled with joy, love and kindness.
- One-on-one email support from a Beads of Courage Nurse for the child and family during their treatment journey.
