About Us
Our story
It started with a box nobody wanted.
We're high school students in Cypress, Texas. We noticed two things happening on opposite sides of the same city: perfectly good medical supplies getting thrown out, and families skipping the drugstore because the math didn't work.
So we started moving supplies from one side to the other. Twenty thousand supplies later, we're still doing it, and we've added a one-page guidance sheet to every kit, because supplies without know-how only get you halfway. Through Project C.U.R.E., our supplies have now shipped to clinics in Bolivia and Venezuela.
