WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT — “I had nobody, but CSVI was there.”
Survivor Spotlight — Petra is a two-time breast cancer survivor. Her journey has not only made her stronger, but changed her outlook and inspired her to help others.
There are donors, and then there are givers. Willie Hamed, Vice President of The Market STT and Moe’s Fresh Market cares deeply for his community and he wants businesses to know that we “need more people like Willie.”
Barb Michaud CSVI Executive Director is the face and passion behind Pinktober. She launched Pinktober ten years ago after a conversation with the General Manager, Kris Macken, at Mahogany Run to pay it forward. Michaud, a breast cancer survivor (or whom she likes to coin “cancer warriors”), like many Virgin Islanders who can’t afford the cost of cancer, reached out to CSVI for financial support & resources to guide her along her cancer journey.
“CSVI stands for SUPPORT…support during a time when you feel alone, when you question ‘why me’, and when you feel your days may be numbered.”
Why CSVI? Because no Virgin Islander should fight cancer alone.
