Today our hearts are incredibly full.

On behalf of everyone at Tallapoosa’s Caring REFUGE, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the church family at Duncan Memorial Methodist Church for their generous donation and for allowing us the opportunity to speak about the heart behind “REFUGE” and what God is doing through our mission of “Reaching Everyday Fighters UItizing God’s Embrace”.
Your kindness , prayers, and financial support help us continue to walk alongside individuals and families facing cancer — reminding them they are seen, loved, and never alone.

When the Body of Christ comes together in faith and compassion, lives are touched in powerful ways. We are truly grateful for a church that doesn’t just hear the need — but responds to it.

May God richly bless you for blessing others. 💛
