Project Cupid was founded by Amy Blue after her nine year old cousin lost his battle to Acute Myeloid Leukemia only days before his tenth birthday.
Mission Statement
"Love cures people-both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it." - Dr. Karl Menninger
Our goal is to raise $5,000 with a charity date auction to be held on February 5, 2010.
Participants include local restaurants and businesses, who have all graciously donated gift certificates and tickets to local events and services.
The Inspiration
Isaias Thomas Valentin
September 9, 1999 - September 5, 2009
On September 5, 2009 just four days shy of his 10th Birthday, Isaias lost the battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Isaias was a very happy child who took great pleasure in seeing those around him smile and be happy.
"I have cancer. Cancer doesn’t have me." - Isaias Valentin
"Isaias was the most amazing kid I've ever met. He was so compassionate and full of life. I pray everyday that my boys grow up to be exactly the way he is. Not a day went by that he didn't put a smile on someones face. He changed people for the better. He's a fighter, a hero and someone that will never be forgotten." - Kelly Burbank, Isaias's aunt
"He loved church and he wanted everyone to be a part of it and because of that he would say, I'm a Christian, I don't hate anyone. Jesus loves everybody." Joanna Helen, Isaias's aunt
