In our community, we often talk about looking out for one another. Today, we want to share a story that reminds us just how life-changing that care can be. Amanda is a neighbor, a friend, a hardworking member of our community. She’d always been healthy, so when she began feeling the familiar discomfort of what she thought was a simple UTI, she brushed it off - like so many of us would. But as the days went on and the pain didn’t fade, worry began to creep in. It was a caring co-worker who finally said, “You should call The CARE Clinic. They’ll help you.”
That small moment of encouragement, one person looking out for another, set the stage for a miracle. When Amanda came to us, she expected a quick checkup and maybe a prescription. Instead, our medical team discovered something far more serious. Amanda wasn’t fighting a UTI. She was fighting Bladder Cancer.
Because she walked through our doors, she didn’t have to face that diagnosis alone. The CARE Clinic connected her to the specialists she needed, guided her through referrals, and stood by her side as she began surgery and chemotherapy. It was a frightening journey, but she didn’t walk it alone.
Today, Amanda is thriving. She’s healing. She’s hopeful. And she often says, “The CARE Clinic saved my life. If it weren’t for the care I received here, I wouldn’t be alive today.” Amanda’s story is not just her own, it belongs to all of us. It reflects what happens when a community comes together to support those who have nowhere else to turn. It shows the power of early diagnosis, compassionate care, and the belief that every person deserves a chance to live a healthy life.
And this is why your support matters. When you give to The CARE Clinic, you’re not simply donating - you’re stepping into someone’s story at the moment they need it most. You’re helping ensure that the next Amanda, whoever they may be, finds the care, answers, and hope they deserve.
💛Together, we can continue changing and saving lives in our community. Thank you for being part of this mission. We hope you consider donating on this final day of the GivingTuesday Campaign to have your gift amplified! 💛
