Her heart breaks when her child is sick or injured. She would do everything in her power to ensure her child gets the care she needs.
For the mothers of 100 million physically disabled children in the developing world, that care is often extremely difficult to find. The suffering imposed on them because of their child’s condition is immense. Their sons and daughters are mocked and viewed as cursed. The mothers are treated just as badly. They are told they have caused the condition. They’re ridiculed, rejected, and abandoned.
But that is not how God views these mothers, and that’s why CURE is launching a new initiative called CUREMoms. Our goal is to ensure that every mom at our hospitals knows that she is precious, honored and loved.
To learn more about CUREMoms, watch this video or visit our new website, cure.org/curemoms.
We are building a community of women who are joining together to support the mothers at our hospitals through prayer, encouragement, and financial support, to bring healing to them and their children.
We want you to get involved! Share CUREMoms with your friends, become a prayer partner, organize a group to raise funds to pay for a child’s surgery, or become a state coordinator… there are lots of ways you can make a difference in the life of a mom and her child. You can even buy a CUREMoms t-shirt from the CURE store.
You can make an incredible impact in the lives of the mothers and children that we treat and tell your own mom she’s precious, honored, and loved with a gift to CURE. Send your mom a personalized Mother’s Day card or send a card and a t-shirt to a CUREMom at one of CURE’s hospitals!
Please help us change the lives of moms and their children today!

Nashville, TN and Lemoyne, PA – April 2, 2013 – Michael Barnes, lead singer of rock band RED, whose recent album “Release The Panic” landed on the Billboard Top Ten, announced that he will participate in the CURE Champion Program by running the Rock and Roll Marathon in Nashville.

“After visiting the CURE hospital in Ethiopia, I saw firsthand how the surgeries restored hope and a life of normalcy to these young children and their families,” states Michael Barnes. “As a child, I always dreamed of being in a rock band, having fans and entertaining people. I made a promise to myself that if I ever got there, I’d try to help others achieve their own goals. These children need our help and this program delivers.” Read the rest of this entry »

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lemoyne, PA – March 26, 2013 - Today, CURE International announced a $250,000 matching grant from The Rees-Jones Foundation for CURE’s hospital in Ethiopia. The grant will increase the impact of gifts from donors, encouraging others to give and making it possible for more children to receive treatment. Through June 30, 2013, The Rees-Jones Foundation will match, dollar-for-dollar, all donations designated for CURE Ethiopia, including donations through the CUREkids program at http://cure.org/ethiopiamatch.
“The needs in Ethiopia are great,” said Rick Klein, Vice President of Development for CURE. “Right now, we have identified hundreds of children waiting to receive the type of specialty surgical care we can provide in Ethiopia, and we know there are thousands more. This grant from The Rees-Jones Foundation is timely and will allow us to continue to bring both physical and spiritual healing in Ethiopia.”
“Our mission is simple. We want to serve God by serving others and, in the process, enable others to experience the love of Christ in very tangible ways,” said Trevor Rees-Jones. “CURE’s commitment to spiritual healing alongside physical healing makes the organization a natural fit for what we are seeking to do.”
The Rees-Jones Foundation grant effectively doubles the impact individual donors can have on children in Ethiopia. While it helps to further funding, it also motivates others to step up and make a difference. “This grant is as much an encouragement for others as it is a promise to the children of Ethiopia,” said Klein. “For an individual donor, there is a great value in knowing you are not alone in reaching out to help these children. There is tremendous power in community.”
Joel Worrall, Vice President of cure.org, values the partnership of organizations like The Rees-Jones Foundation. “Through our CUREkids program, we can provide unprecedented real-time reporting on the children and families being impacted by CURE in Ethiopia, and when an organization like The Rees-Jones Foundation comes alongside CURE, it multiply our efforts and produces a priceless outcome: hundreds of kids whose lives are changed forever,” said Worrall.
Donations that take advantage of the matching grant from The Rees-Jones Foundation can be made online at http://cure.org/ethiopiamatch or through non-cash gifts by emailing info@cure.org.
