At Project C.U.R.E., each container of donated medical supplies represents a lifeline. We often show these C.U.R.E. Cargo shipments on their way out; pallets of hope packed 40 feet deep. But what's even more powerful is what happens next.
Each container is packed to the brim with donated medical supplies and equipment: wheelchairs, surgical kits, gloves, defibrillators, gauze, and much more. These are lifelines for communities who have run out of options. In many cases, they mean the difference between life and death.
Over the last few months, we’ve shared a lot of numbers with you: “ten containers, ten days,” “$450,000 per container,” “40-foot cargo containers.” But the point of all of these numbers is not a “what,” it’s a “who.”
Every single container sent represents real people with real stories. A young girl with asthma who now has access to a nebulizer. A patient with a privacy curtain. A midwife who finally has an incubator for a newborn baby. These are not statistics but stories of survival and hope.
We know that, on average, 30,000 people benefit from just one container. That’s 30,000 mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, nurses, doctors, and patients whose lives are touched by your generosity.
Let’s break that down even further.
In February 2025 alone, our C.U.R.E. Cargo shipments impacted the lives of 720,000 people. If you had only 10 seconds with each one of them, it would take you 83 days without sleeping to greet them all. March added another 420,000 people, and April outdid them both with a staggering 810,000 people helped.
In just three months, C.U.R.E. Cargo will have served 1,950,000 people—nearly 2 million individuals. That’s not just a figure, that’s humanity in action.
To visualize it, imagine every person standing shoulder to shoulder. The line would stretch from New York to Los Angeles and back again. Every step of that journey would represent someone who now has access to basic healthcare, many for the very first time.
When a container is dropped in a community, a celebration begins. People gather to witness the arrival of what they know will save lives. These moments often turn into receiving ceremonies filled with joy, gratitude, and hope. For many, it’s a reminder that the world hasn’t forgotten them.
The journey doesn’t end with delivery. Our global partners work tirelessly to distribute supplies where they are needed most. These partners know the terrain, the culture, and the urgent needs. Without them, none of this would be possible.
At every step of the way, from the moment a hospital donates equipment, to our volunteer sorting, to the forklifts lifting pallets into containers, Project C.U.R.E. operates as a united force for good. It takes all of us. Medical donors, financial supporters, warehouse volunteers, logistic coordinators, and you.
Together, we’ve built a system that delivers not just medical supplies, but, care, compassion, and a C.U.R.E..
This isn’t just about shipping containers. It’s about delivering health and hope to the farthest corners of the globe. One community at a time. One person at a time. One container at a time.
