Dear Cherished Partners, Donors, and Sponsors,

With hearts brimming with gratitude, we extend our deepest thanks to each of you. Your unwavering support has been the driving force behind a remarkable journey over the past six months—one unlike any we’ve undertaken before.

Three Countries, Countless Lives Touched

Traditionally, our mission focused on year-round cane distribution and one to two annual international trips. But this year has been nothing short of extraordinary.

In just six months, You Cane Give completed three major initiatives across Ethiopia, South Africa, and Colombia. These weren’t just mission trips—they were transformational journeys filled with challenges, breakthroughs, and powerful stories of hope and mobility.

You Made This Possible

This impact wouldn’t have been possible without YOU—our dedicated donors, generous sponsors, and extraordinary board and non-board members who worked tirelessly behind the scenes.

Your belief in our vision has been the cornerstone of this mission’s success. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Local Outreach: Training, Repair, and Advocacy

Our work didn’t stop at the border.

We’ve been equally active at home—hosting community outreach events, conducting training sessions, and completing cane restoration projects to prepare for future distributions. We also participated in key conventions to build relationships and amplify our message of inclusion and access.
