True greatness is to serve. Forget yourself long enough to land a helping hand.
Camelia Deaconu Fundația HOSPICE Casa Speranței
Dear friend, On October 14th I will run the 42 km of the International Bucharest Marathon for the second time to support the palliative care services offered by HOSPICE Casa Speranţei to children and adults diagnosed with an incurable illness and to their families.
I know exactly what it’s like when someone you love is in pain. Losing the number one man in my life, my father, to cancer left my heart in pieces. Yet the life lessons that I have learned since 2012 have been instrumental in my growing as a human being. It taught me about the fragility of life and how precious every second is. It was hard to see him suffer. But the hardest part of all was feeling helpless. You want to do everything, but you feel like you can do nothing. You know they’re hurting and it cuts you into a million pieces. Watching someone you love suffer is not just painful. It takes everything out of you. I can’t change the past.
I can’t take away that pain. But I can try and support a charity that help other families that face what I did. So here I am raising money for a cause I really believe in. All I hope by doing it is that another family won’t have to go through the same heartache of losing a loved one. That they’ll have gotten the service and support that wasn’t available when I needed it most.
HOSPICE Casa Sperantei is a home, a refuge and a symbol that reminds us all that we are not alone. They keep the people at home, the families trying to cope with the emotional and financial stress of coping with cancer, and they give hope.
Since 1992 to this date, more than 22.000 patients and their families received these services free-of-charge, and HOSPICE needs funds to continue their amazing work. Any little help coming from you means life and hope for those suffering from cancer and any other life-limiting disease.
Thank you so much for your support and please don't forget to send this page to any friends you think might be interested in donating.
With my sincere gratitude and unconditional love. Camelia
