Three Project C.U.R.E. trucks were vandalized over the weekend at the humanitarian organization's Littleton Sorting Center.

The wires on all three trucks were cut, including the battery and lift gate wires, and the gas caps were stolen. Two of the trucks can hopefully be repaired, but one of the trucks will no longer function.

Project C.U.R.E. uses these trucks to collect large loads of donated medical supplies and equipment from local hospitals, clinics and medical manufacturers. This tragedy inhibits Project C.U.R.E.'s ability to continue delivering life-saving medical relief to hospitals and clinics in developing countries around the globe.

"We are not just talking about vandalism to trucks," said Doug Jackson, President/CEO of Project C.U.R.E. "The real damage that was done is to the lives and health of thousands of sick children, parents and grandparents in developing countries who will not receive the medical care that they need because a few people decide to destroy our property."

The international non-profit cannot continue its work until these trucks are fixed or replaced. At this time, Project C.U.R.E is in need of two 24-foot trucks with lifts to be donated so that it can continue its work of "Delivering Health and Hope to the World. " To donate a truck, please contact George Roberge, VP of Operations for Project C.U.R.E. at 303-754-2467 or georgeroberge@projectcure.org. For more information on Project C.U.R.E., go to projectcure.org.

Do you have any idea why someone would do this?
