Donate Your Timeshare To a Cancer Patient

WHO ARE WE?

Laura's Journeys is a program promoting travel for cancer patients in partnership with Roosevelt Hospital, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in New York City. Established in 2009 in loving memory of Laura Parness, Laura’s Journeys is specifically designed to encourage and facilitate recreational travel for cancer patients at Roosevelt and other hospitals within the Continuum Health Partners network. The program facilitates recreational travel for individuals undergoing cancer treatment by awarding vacations for the patient and a companion, while also providing practical advice for traveling during their therapy.

In the first two years since its inception, Laura’s Journeys has awarded more than 20 trips, including one-week cruises to various parts of the Caribbean,New England/Canada and Bermuda; a one-week trip to Athens, Greece; vacation home and timeshare stays in Merritt Island and Palm Beach Shores, Fla., and Galloway Township, N.J.; and weekends in the Berkshire Mountains and Atlantic City.

Winners are selected from random drawings limited to current chemotherapy and radiation therapy patients. In an effort to make the getaways as stress-free as possible, the program’s volunteers assist the winners in all aspects of planning their vacations.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Laura's Journeys welcomes all forms of donations from the travel community and we invite individual owners of timeshares or vacation homes to donate week or weekend accommodations.
