and H.E.R.O.C. has not been
able to host any of our four
fund raiser events for the
year 2020.”
She added, that H.E.R.O.C.
in collaboration with our sister
organization, “The Giving
Hope Foundation” in Guyana
also were not able to host our
annual Cancer Mission for
our thrivers and survivors in
Guyana either.
“However in lieu of the
mission, we were able to provide
gift bags for 100 persons
that included all the items
such as masks, gloves, hand
sanitizers, hand wash/soap,
wet wipes along with a few
other much needed items,”
she said
She added that this virtual
Tea Party “will assist us in
continuing the efforts and
work in Guyana with our
cancer survivors and thrivers.”
