Childhood Cancer Lifeline

The Childhood Cancer Lifeline was founded in 1995 by a group of parents whose children had childhood cancer. Since our inception, we have been a strictly volunteer organization dedicated to addressing the practical and emotional needs of New Hampshire families dealing with pediatric cancer. Today our volunteers have expanded to include family members, friends, and other caring individuals. We know first-hand the trauma that a family faces when a child is diagnosed. We also understand the challenges you'll deal with before, during, and after your child's treatment. The Childhood Cancer Lifeline is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

Medical Benevolence Foundation

The Medical Benevolence Foundation helps people in developing countries get the medical care they need. Our mission is to provide physical and spiritual healing to the poor through the local church. We help the church’s medical ministries so they, in turn, can help their communities. These ministries include medical services, hospitals, clinics and nursing schools. Medical ministries create jobs. They make medical care available to some of the least- resourced places in the world. They strengthen the position of the local church as a pillar of support in the community. Donations to MBF help offset medical costs for the poor, modernize facilities and equipment, and provide supplies and medicines. Funds also help train local doctors and nurses. Spiritual ministry training is provided free for medical staff. MBF is currently working with ministries in Haiti, Kenya, Malawi and DR Congo. Our vision is to see a country-wide Christian Medical Network in each country. The network will reduce costs while improving the quality of care for patients.

African Mothers Health Initiative

In Malawi maternal and infant mortality rates are among the highest in the world. Hospitals and clinics are severely understaffed, which means that even when critically ill women and children reach a facility in time to save their lives many still do not receive the care they need. And, once they leave the hospital they receive no ongoing support. This is a huge problem and we are a small organization doing what we can in this environment. We support the provision of home based nursing care to high risk postpartum women and babies. We offer high quality personalized care to the women and babies enrolled in our programs, we strive to involve families and communities, and we hold up the truth that even a small difference is a significant difference especially when made with compassion and love.

MASS GENERAL BRIGHAM INCORPORATED - BRIGHAM & WOMENS HOSPITAL INC

Nearly five years ago, Boston was changed forever when a beautiful Marathon Monday turned into a senseless tragedy. Gillian Reny, then a high school senior, was one of the 39 critically injured patients rushed to Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), where doctors and nurses saved her life and both of her legs. In gratitude to BWH, the Reny family established The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation with a mission of transforming outcomes for civilian and military heroes worldwide who have suffered devastating traumatic injuries. To date, the center has raised more than $12 million. But much more needs to be done. Although trauma accounts for 41 million emergency department visits a year, funding for trauma research and care remains scarce. When you support a member of the 2018 BWH Stepping Strong Marathon Team, you are helping BWH turn tragedy into hope for trauma patients like Gillian so they can regain their strength and ability to step strong once again. Thank you for supporting this extraordinary group of runners and continuing to honor the Boston Strong spirit that still defines our city today.

Morning Star Center For Social Progress

The mission of the Morning Star Center (MSCAFRICA) is to bring hope and development to the Heart of Africa. MSCAFRICA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit institution devoted expressly to providing social improvement services to underprivileged and impoverished communities. It is our mission to begin with those in the most need. Social Progress requires intervention in several different areas of life, therefore the Morning Star Center will provide many different yet related services to invigorate and inspire social progress. A summary of the different services is provided below. Education: Social progress depends heavily on the development of knowledge and intelligence.  Morning Star Center will provide education through classroom training for all levels of learners: children, adolescents, and adults. A primary goal of the Center's education services is to educate the impoverished children of Africa who, without the Center's services, would be left unable to read, write, or advance in society. The education at the Center will be theoretically based yet practically oriented integrating the latest in business and technology. Healthcare: Social Progress is impossible when a population is faced with debilitating and devastating diseases. A large degree of the health care problem in Africa emanates from simple deficiencies. Morning Star Center will provide basic vaccinations, medications, and information to prevent and treat widespread yet curable diseases. Technology Center: Social Progress is heavily reliant on technology. Morning Star Center will provide not only technical education to students but also serve as a distribution and information center for technological advancement with the community. Local businesses and families will be encouraged to use a technology provided by Morning Star Center as well as obtain lessons about improving production and lifestyle improvement through technology. MSCAFRICA strives to serve African communities by providing education, healthcare, technological, and other social services to everybody, especially the poor. All people are at birth equal and when provided the minimal foundations of education, healthcare, technology, and other services all people are capable of improving their quality of life. It is the basic mission of Morning Star Center for Social Progress to provide that foundation to needy communities in Africa.
