MOLINE, ILLINOIS (July 28, 2023) — For eighteen Years, Midwest Hope and Healing offered encouragement and comfort to 4,000 breast-cancer patients with signature healing baskets. Through the generosity of donors, Midwest Hope and Healing established a grant-making endowment fund at The Moline Foundation to continue their legacy of caring for those newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
“On behalf of Boundless Compassion, I am grateful for being recognized by Midwest Hope and Healing with a grant to help launch spiritual retreats for people impacted by cancer. The 'Self-Compassion and Living with Cancer' retreat focuses on being kind and supportive to ourselves as we live with cancer. The retreat series will be at the Benet House Retreat Center in Rock Island, Illinois.” — Gratefully, Bobbi Bussan, OSB
“Midwest Hope and Healing recently met with the 2023 grant recipients to award their grant dollars. Each organization provides valuable services to our community and aligns perfectly with MWHH's mission. We are excited to partner with these individuals so they can continue to provide much-needed hope and healing to a population in need of exactly that. And a very special Thank You to The Moline Foundation for their commitment to our philanthropic activities. We couldn't do what we do without them.” — Colleen Borts
