What can a high school student with no money and no job do to help kids with correctable disabilities across the globe? Maddie’s story will impress and inspire you.
Maddie recently underwent heart surgery. While recovering in the hospital, she received a care package containing a blanket and other items.
Fast forward a bit: while listening to an episode of the Brant and Sherri Oddcast, Maddie learned about CURE and was blown away by the impact the organization is making in the lives of children across the world. She felt compelled to help CURE's mission of healing the sick and spreading the love of Jesus, but wasn’t sure how. Then she remembered the care package she received when she was in the hospital ...
CUREkids in Malawi and Kenya were the grateful recipients of Maddie's care packages. Enjoy some pictures of them receiving and playing with their gifts!
Thank you, Maddie, for your heart for CURE! You blessed a lot of kids through your efforts. We are so thankful for partners like you!
