What We Do For Cancer Patients . . .

Victory in the Valley's, Transportation Program provides much more than just a ride to treatment for someone facing cancer. It's an opportunity to receive hope, encouragement, and support from someone who truly understands much of what you are going through and cares.

Established in 1995, the Transportation Program provides a ride to treatment for cancer patients who are unable to drive themselves, or who would have to rely on a family member or friend for a ride. In 2006, our drivers traveled approximately 50,000 miles in the Wichita and Hutchinson areas, transporting cancer patients to their cancer-related appointments, all at no charge to them.  Victory in the Valley Transportation Vans have been purchased with the generous donations provided through the fundraising efforts of caring individuals and organizations.

What If It Was You?

Imagine that you are retired after working faithfully at your job for over 40 years. Suddenly, you learn that you have cancer! All of your plans for an enjoyable retirement are changed in an instant! The cancer leaves you feeling weak, sick, and with an overwhelming sense of helplessness and sometimes hopelessness. You are alone! How will you ever cope?

This is just one of the many situations that Victory in the Valley sees daily. What a joy to see the relief on the face of this woman, and others like her, who no longer have to worry about a safe and comfortable ride to treatment. And what a humbling experience for us to receive a crumpled envelope with 60 cents inside, because she wanted to give back something to show her appreciation.

What Can You Do To Help?

Each donation given to the Transportation Program helps fund another trip to treatment for someone who may have otherwise had to forego treatment because of a need for transportation. Your gift not only helps underwrite this vital program, but even more importantly, touches the lives of real people with encouragement and hope.
