10/30/2023 – Grace Kennedy Money Services (GKMS), agents of Western Union in Guyana, has donated $200,000 to the Guyana Cancer Foundation to support its mission including free medical screening. This generosity will empower the Foundation to reach more individuals in need and make a tangible impact on early cancer detection. 

The Guyana Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance and instilling hope to those affected by cancer through early detection, education, awareness, and free medical screening. The Foundation’s mission is particularly focused on underserved communities with low income and limited insurance coverage.

In her statement, Ms. Bibi Sadeeah Akhtar Hassan expressed her profound gratitude for GraceKennedy’s financial contribution, noting that it will strengthen their free medical screening program. This support enables them to extend their reach to more individuals in need, resulting in a substantial impact on early cancer detection. 

Troy Williams, Country Manager for GraceKennedy Money Services, Guyana, emphasized the importance of early cancer detection through screening tests. “Detecting abnormal tissue or cancer in its early stages makes treatment more effective,” he said. “As a way of giving back to this country, GKMS maintains its commitment to the Guyana Cancer Foundation, supporting free medical screening for women throughout Guyana.”

Williams further emphasized that the monetary donation to the Guyana Cancer Foundation aligns with GKMS’s mission to contribute positively to the lives of Guyanese citizens and addresses the pressing healthcare concerns in communities.

“We are honored to partner with the Guyana Cancer Foundation in this important fight against cancer,” said Williams. “Their dedication to providing free medical screening and support to underserved communities is truly inspiring. We are confident that our donation will make a difference in the lives of many Guyanese.”

This partnership represents a powerful synergy between two organizations committed to enhancing the quality of life and healthcare of the community. The Guyana Cancer Foundation and GraceKennedy Money Services continue to kindle hope, raise awareness, and inspire early detection in the fight against cancer, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their background, receives the necessary care and support.
