PAST EVENT

VT Seva Cary – Partnership with Amy’s Ray of Sunshine (March 2025) As a way to support bone marrow patients, VT Seva Cary partnered with Amy’s Ray of Sunshine, an organization dedicated to collecting and delivering cards to bone marrow patients across the USA. Through this heartfelt initiative, our youth volunteers had the opportunity to create 100 beautiful handmade cards and bracelets, each filled with messages of love, courage, and hope. These creations will be distributed to bone marrow patients nationwide, offering encouragement during their treatment journeys and reminding them that they are not alone. The cards and bracelets serve as small but powerful tokens of compassion—bringing smiles, strength, and emotional comfort to those facing challenging times. 💙 This event not only uplifted patients but also gave our youth volunteers a chance to reflect on the importance of empathy, creativity, and service. By channeling their energy into something so meaningful, they learned how even simple acts of kindness can have a profound impact. We hope to continue this opportunity in the future, expanding our reach and touching more lives through the power of service and connection
