Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hello, My name is and I am writing you to let you know about a project that my aunt Debra has created. It is called The Healing Project. Please feel free to check out our website at www.thehealingproject.org. There you will find more info on the project and why we are doing it. If you can help in any way, or if you think that this site can help anybody that you know please pass on the word. The Healing Project (www.thehealingproject.org), a not-for- profit organization based in New York, is seeking stories from and about people dealing with life-changing illnesses. The stories should offer comfort, knowledge, hope and encouragement with the goal that a reader gains `take away value' from the sharing of experiences. Founded by New York businesswoman and breast cancer survivor, Debra LaChance, The Healing Project is dedicated to establishing a community that inspires those individuals affected by serious illnesses. " Our first project involves a series of anthologies called `Voices of ….' focusing on Alzheimer's, Lung Cancer, Alcoholism, Multiple Sclerosis, and Breast Cancer " said Ms. LaChance. " We are asking for organizations and individuals to help us get the word out about the Project. " " Our mission is to give people who have experienced a serious illness, either themselves or through a loved one, the opportunity to tell their stories so that others may learn from the `healing power' of their words, " said d Ms LaChance. " I was surrounded by words of encouragement and inspiration that I believe helped in my recovery, but I quickly realized there are many people who didn't have the same advantages. That was the moment The Healing Project was born. As a philanthropic organization we can give back, " Ms LaChance said. Proceeds from book sales, donations, grants and sponsorship will be channeled into areas of designated need to support individuals and other charitable organizations. The first books are scheduled to be published next year, and will also contain a resource guide to further help the reader gain information on the disease. For a description of The Healing Project, how to submit stories and for other ways people can help, go to www.thehealingproject.org. Thank you for reading; I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
