The Common Thread for the Cure, a non-profit foundation, was established in 2000 to unite individuals from all aspects of the furnishings industry – textiles, wall covering, carpet, manufacturers, designers, customer service, production personnel, representatives, dealers – in the battle against breast cancer. The Common Thread for the Cure provides Helping Hand Grants to assist individuals affiliated with the furnishings industry who are battling this disease. The purpose of a Helping Hand Grant is to aid the recipient and their family in areas where insurance does not apply. It can be used to meet financial obligations such as mortgages or tuition, household needs, transportation to doctor’s appointments etc. All requests for and recipients of Helping Hand Grants are kept confidential.
In 2008 The Common Thread for the Cure was able to give fourteen Helping Hand Grants. Grants were given to women in North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Indiana and Michigan. While each grant recipient’s story was different and each need unique to the individual, the Helping Hand Grant helped make a difference in each of their lives. The Common Thread for the Cure foundation is grateful for the financial support we receive from our year round sponsors, donations and fundraising events. Our wish for the future is that increased awareness and support will one day make a larger number of Helping Hand Grants possible.
