Cure International: Saving Kids from treatable conditions

Warning: This one's a heart-jerker.
You have the opportunity to physically change a child's life forever.



Across the world, children suffer daily from conditions that are treatable. Cure International is an organization dedicated to reaching out to those children and providing them with the care and treatment needed to cure them. They now have hospitals in ten different countries.

Birth defects and other physical disabilities treated by Cure include:
  • Hydrocephalus                                                                             
  • Clubfoot
  • Cleft lip and cleft palate
  • Burn contractures  
  • Brain tumors
  • Tuberculosis of the Spine
  • Spina bifida
  • Osteomyelitis   
There are 4 ways you can help Cure International reach out to children in need:
  1. Giving: Make a monetary donation. It can be a one time gift or a monthly pledge.
  2. Praying: There is indescribable power in prayer, lift up Cure International to God. 
  3. Doing: There are ways to support Cure without even leaving the comfort home
  4. Going: Do what cure does! Volunteer and travel with Cure International.  
 So, if you feel led to help and reach out to people but have not been able to sponsor a child, there are ways to help Cure, help them. It's as simple as following them on twitter or friending them on facebook. Help get the word out that Cure International is there and is helping the world, one child at a time.
  

Attention Followers 
I challenge you to the 1 Child Challenge. I did it. 

It's SO easy. All you have to do is follow 1 child. A donor will then give $1 toward that child's surgery. Then, you share that child's story with 1 friend via twitter or facebook. 
The challenge ends April 29, 2011.  So get on board before it ends. 
Check out how easy I made it for you. Below is Cure's most recent CUREkid. Click follow to accept the challenge and bring this child $1 closer to their new, cured lives.
