What am I giving to?
CURE in Uganda
The picture above is of CURE in Uganda. Everyone who serves with CURE in Uganda, from medical professionals to office staff, are dedicated to providing the highest quality medical and spiritual care to people who, without CURE, couldn't find it and couldn't afford it, just like Richard. To do that, we're inviting you to partner with us.
We need to raise approximately $1000 to treat children like Richard. When you give a gift through Richard's CUREkids profile, your contribution will help us continue our work in countries like Uganda. Have more questions? Ask us.
Monthly Giving: Be a Hero!
When you partner with us monthly, we'll send you an email each month to introduce you to a different child who was helped because of your generosity. You can choose to follow their updates and send them get well messages. That means that each year, you're a part of helping 12 different children, beginning with Richard. We call it being a CURE Hero!
Got it. Thanks for the explanation.

"When I saw my son for the very first time, I knew I had to do something," Magaret said.
Born with frontal encephalocele, Richard had his mother confused and desperately looking for ways to get rid of the tumor swelling and protruding from his forehead. She went to one of the referral hospitals where they promised they could help get rid of it.
"They did scans and told me that they could help get rid of the tumor, they said they would call me in a few days time and months passed without hearing from them," Margaret told us.
Even with a jobless husband, Margaret was determined, she kept visiting hospitals even private clinics with the hope of helping her son, many of whom made promises, kept telling her to revisit, and actually did nothing.
Last year, when her grandmother died, Margaret went to the funeral service and from there, her life was about to change.
"After the funeral service, I could hear almost everyone murmuring about my son's condition, I had gotten used to it so I didn't care. This woman came to me, I do not know her and neither had we met before. She asked me if I had ever heard of CURE hospital, I had no idea what she was talking about," Magaret narrated. "This lady told me that CURE hospital would work on my son, I told her that I have done everything and I would do anything for my son," Margaret added.
She then found her way to CURE Uganda where she was warmly welcomed and admitted.
"I was really impressed with the way I was welcomed, even without any money, I have hope that all will be fine," Margaret spoke with such great ease.
A CT scan was done and our doctors are reviewing the results. Let's pray for God's divine wisdom as our medical team takes on this restoration challenge.

Guess who made it back! Yes! Magaret has brought Richard back for review.
"We are so excited to be back. Richard is great and I believe he can get even better," Magaret told us with an excited voice. We believe Richard's tumor can be reduced even more. Our doctors are planning to approach it with a different plan of attack this time around. Please welcome this smiley pair back to CURE!
Praise God! Richard was recently discharged since he has greatly improved. He can now go home and wait until his next procedure. "Thank you so so much, CURE has been so helpful. I have learned a lot from this place -- humility, patience, and how to trust in God!" Margaret told us. We asked what she had to say about our donors. "Please send them my greetings and love, I can not thank them enough," Margaret added.
"When I first arrived, I had lost all hope. I needed help for my son, and I got more than what I expected!" Margaret told us. While we were talking, the spiritual members were setting up equipment for afternoon worship. "I love the worship and the Word shared with us. It's just so encouraging," Margaret added. Thank you for caring for Margaret and Richard. Please pray for Richard's healing.
