Francis donates to Cancer Association
Eleven year old, Kohl Francis, wanted to do something for cancer
patients. She states “I thought it would be a good idea since my
grandmother died of cancer.” Kohl is in Girl Scouts and is
working toward her Bronze Award. She said her mom helped her to
find an activity called a Care Package and she made several of them and
donated them to the local cancer association. The package
contains 2 puzzle books and a pen, a cup and straw, tissues and candy
and are in a cloth bag which was made by a friend. She is shown
above donating one of the bags to Ruth Nye, a cancer patient, who was
most appreciative of the gift.
The Cancer Association of Darke County appreciates all donations and is
very encouraged when the youth in the county become involved in helping
others who are having a difficult time with health, finances, etc. A
special thanks to Kohl for her caring, generous attitude.
To receive benefits from the Cancer Association, a patient must live in
Darke County and have a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. Please
call the office and speak with Christine if you have any questions or
would like to volunteer, etc. 937-548-9960
