The purchaser of an Honor Card donates an amount of their choosing to
any Blessing healthcare service of their choosing, in the name of a
loved one or friend. The honoree receives a card in the mail telling
them of the donation made in their honor, and the money donated goes to
support someone in need who is receiving care from the designated
service.

"Donations recently helped a couple raising two children with autism
-- and facing a breast cancer diagnosis -- manage their finances which
took a hit when the woman had to be off of work for treatment,"
Dickson said. "Blessing Foundation donor support of the Cancer Center
fund covered five of the family's house payments, giving them some
much needed financial relief during this difficult time."
