St. Paul A.M.E. Church donates $500 to Cancer Navigators
As the holidays approach, the spirit of giving has spread throughout the area, and St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Rome has joined in, making a $500 donation to Cancer Navigators. Cancer Navigators is a nonprofit that guides patients and their support system through a cancer diagnosis and treatment through events, providing resources and offering a wealth of knowledge. The church's donation will help further the nonprofit's mission by helping provide resources, gas cards and medical supplies to those who need them. It is the third consecutive year St. Paul's has contributed to Cancer Navigators, a service personal to the congregation, according to a media release. A member of the congregation, Stephanie L. Mosley, received support and care from the nonprofit during her battle with metastatic breast cancer. "The compassionate care and tangible resources extended to our church members and other families in the community inspired the church to commit to ongoing fundraising efforts," the media release from St. Paul's said.
