It’s easy to feel duped when we do the best we can to help people that seem to be in need. Whether it’s a few dollars or hundreds that we give, when it is used inappropriately or requested under false pretense, it’s easy for us to say “I quit – never again”! I’ve been there – done that! Unfortunately, we are human and feel for people that need help and will give again and again. I started getting the “bills” and pay them directly instead of giving the people money. We even do that at our church.

I’m thankful that Nadine McCaw was able to benefit from this because she truly needs help. She has had another surgery and hospitalized a few more times. Her struggle is genuine! Her pain is evident! She hasn’t asked for help, but is humbly appreciative of any assistance. She’s been through so much and is still a strong fighter and survivor. Please continue to reach out to help her. She didn’t let her community down – she’s been there for Century and the surrounding area.

My husband and I own a business in town and we were taken by them as well, those red shirts you see, my husband made those shirts and they were done very cheap! however those weren’t the only ones we done along with some back pack bags with embroidery work on them as well, they to were done very cheap! We thought we were helping them out and looks as if we did! However we also was a vendor at the kicken Cancer in the park and the yellow shirts we made them as well,they even gave us the design that they had someone draw, but least they didn’t benfit from those…So sad I really belived their story, Chris came into our business and stayed for hours giving us the story I really felt sorry for them…Guess we were to soft or he was a good talker one…..

The community has been deeply hurt by this fraud case. Most people are generaly kind hearted and like to give and help their fellow man. do not let these two people, and those who assisted them, change all of that. there is still a lot of good to be done in the community. Don’t give up because of a few fakes who took advantage of us. This organization is a good one and needed. please reconsider your decision. you can really help people who need it!

Please reconsider dissolving the foundation. I assure you that NOBODY has any illwill towards the foundation. If your feeling betrayed (and Im sure you are) Then take a break and refocus and then make the decision. If at all possible I would love to volunteer and help the foundation wherever I can.

As a former cancer patient and what I went through in surgery and chemo, along with my fellow patients, words fail any attempt to define such atrocious acts. It is about as low as it gets. To rob and steal compassion from others for pure selfishness has to be the most vile of crimes. How ironic that one or both of this pair should actually turn up with cancer at some point in the future would no doubt prove a man reaps what he sows. To those of you that may have extreme anger from being duped let me say this not only to you but to all who donated time and money. If you gave with a sincere heart and gave from the heart, you WILL be blessed whether it was a scam or not.

Mr. and Mrs. Cloud,

Please reconsider. If you must do something to take away this horrible association with this thief, just change the name. Maybe Escambia kicks Cancer or something. You halped my mom and dad (Nadine Mccaw) at a time when they really needed it. I know I had to bring the Dr. bills and pathology reports when you wrote the check to her bills, and I now understand why. There is so much good that you had planned for the organization, please do not let Satan take that blessing away!

Thank you for the help you have given to all that have really been stricken by cancer, and I pray that you will find it in your hearts to continue.
