At age 6, Christina Brunette was told she had an
inoperable tumor on her spinal column. Although
her condition appeared bleak, Paul and Angela, her
parents, were consistently uplifted by the support of
family and friends. They also looked to God and the
scriptures for encouragement and hope during this
difficult time. Christina endured a difficult year of
radiation and chemotherapy treatments and the tumor
shrunk and then disappeared! She is now a health young
lady and visits other sick children offering them comfort and hope.
In gratitude, the Brunette family founded the first
Basket of Hope in their hometown, St. Louis, and are delighted to
be able to serve children in 11 other cities. Our goal is to
raise
$100,000 with The Kilimanjaro Charity Climb to help the
new Chicago location get started. This money would help
fund them for a year!
The Mission of Basket of Hope is to give the hope
that comes from Jesus to newly diagnosed children and
their families affected by cancer or other serious
illnesses, primarily by the delivery of a Basket of Hope
filled with inspirational materials to nourish them
mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
May the God of hope fill you
with joy and peace as you trust in Him. - Romans 15:13
