"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful,
committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Since October 2007, The See A Cure Foundation has raised over $7,000 despite being a mere blip on the eye cancer (aka choroidal melanoma, eye melanoma, uveal melanoma, ocular melanoma, intraocular melanoma and ciliary body melanoma) fundraising radar and despite our 501(c)(3)-pending status.
Seven-thousand dollars. That’s over $1000 a month.
We have received donations as small as $10 and as large as $1000. An anonymous donor sent us $25, via our PayPal link, after receiving a Google alert about one of our recent postings.
A woman in California sent $50 because, as a member of the OCU-MEL listserve (people whose primary eye cancer has spread), she supports patient-driven outreach.
A pastor in Texas sent us $100 when a woman, whose husband had successfully been treated for eye cancer, told him their story and mentioned our newly-formed group.
From the Midwest came $350 from the grateful parents of a recently diagnosed daughter who found our extensive listing of stories, research, resources and support groups to be exactly what she was looking for during a confusing and frightening time.
In addition to money, See A Cure has received generous in-kind donations of office supplies and equipment, computer support and outstanding graphic design.
We are building a patient-advocacy community one person and one dollar at a time.
To those who have contributed and to those who will, thank you.
We deeply appreciate your willingness to reach out and reach deep to help See A Cure.
It’s your sight.
It’s your life.
