TEAM MEMBERS PROVIDE HOPE FOR CHILDREN FIGHTING CANCER

Care bags and financial donations help families know they’re not alone

SUFFOLK, VA – Summer, 2024. To celebrate the opening of Carter Rental’s Suffolk, Va., location, team members there wanted to give back to their local community, and after a customer’s recommendation, decided to partner with the Rock Solid Foundation which helps build hope for children fighting cancer.

Together with two of their customers, Carter’s Suffolk store team donated $5,000 and then packed 150 of the Foundation’s signature “Ready Bags.” The bags include all the essentials needed for unexpected hospital stays, but more importantly, send a strong message to families that they are not alone as they begin their battle, said Jeremy Mowles, Carter Machinery’s Rental Operations Manager. The bags are delivered to hospitals across the country and then distributed to families when they first receive a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
