In third world countries, patients are often turned away, because there are not enough medical supplies. That’s where Project C.U.R.E. comes in.

"I have stood and watched people die because they don't have a 25-cent IV starting kit," said President and C.E.O Douglas Jackson.

Project C.U.R.E. is the largest donor of medical supplies in the third world. Founded right here in Colorado, Project C.U.R.E. collects supplies from generous hospitals, manufacturers and wholesalers, and delivers the goods to 123 countries.

600 volunteers donate their time to Project C.U.R.E., including Dr. Merl Jacobsen and his wife Barbara, who have volunteered every week for 18 years. 7News has honored the couple as 7Everyday Heroes.

"When you see the look on these people's faces who you help - it's all worthwhile," said Dr. Jacobsen.

The Jacobsens employed the help of their Rotary Club in Littleton to raise $500,000 for a new Project C.U.R.E. warehouse in Centennial. Jake Jabs of American Furniture Warehouse donated a matching grant to help build the 60,000-square-foot building. To learn more about Project C.U.R.E., visitclick here.
