Needs
Our needs are varied from financial (cup/mug donations, packaging materials, tea, honey, printing, postage, etc.) and logistical (volunteers to help spread the word about our mission, monitor & fulfill cup requests, and provide outreach to those organizations that provide direct support to those in (or supporting those in) cancer treatment, recovery and grief. Potential partnerships and institutional contacts are important in this regard as we are a very small organization that relies on four, unpaid Board members to get most things done.
We know that fulfilling our mission adds value and appreciate your support to deliver impact such as this:
"Thank you for the cup! Every day is a struggle. Anything to keep my head up. Stage 4 cancer ovarian, uterine and endometrial."
"A much-appreciated comfort to help me get through this terrible disease."
"Thank you so much for the cup and thoughtfulness. I am 38, with breast cancer, BRCA1 gene, double mastectomy and hysterectomy."
"Thank you for making my wife's cancer journey a little brighter. Bless you for what you do."
"This is my second go round with breast cancer. The cup requested is for me, to give me strength to persevere".
"I received a beautiful antique teacup from this group when I was undergoing treatment and it really brightened my day."
"Thank you for sending me one of your brilliant teacups. I have had a really rough couple of years, and I really appreciate a pick me up...a reason to smile."
"Thank you for the cup! My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at the end of June. Our family took a hard hit receiving the news, but now the fight's on to beat this cancer. She is an amazing mother and warrior. She has goals she'd like to reach and has a bumpy road ahead of her but, thanks to you, she has positive vibes."
"I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I am going through chemotherapy. I think it is wonderful what you do. Thank You!"
"Thank you for the cup, a reminder that, despite my treatments and bad news, I am never alone."
“I was diagnosed with Breast cancer in November 2019. The whole pandemic, I was going thru chemo/surgery and radiation, not to mention trying to stay away from the COVID virus. I remember, at one point, a dear friend has a beautiful package sent to me that included a lovely tea cup. It was the most special gift and the timing was perfect. I felt like I had just been given a warm sweet hug … I am forever grateful! What a wonderful project! Thank you”
And we can, safely, claim that the CWLP has distributed over 500 cups across the globe.
