Anna's Journey  - Nominee Form

Anna's Journey

"Anna’s Journey” is not a traditional non-profit organization. “Anna’s Journey” started in July 2014 in honor of Anna K. Leon who was diagnosed with cancer on May 18, 2014 and is currently undergoing treatment. Anna is a working mom with four children who is living a full life but fighting breast cancer. 

As a family they started to seek out means to give back to other women who find themselves in a similar situation in order to bring HOPE.   “Anna’s Journey” wishes to match one working mom who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, to the gift of a FREE week of Resort vacation in Colorado. Their goal is to Help Other People Excel (HOPE) and trust that a white Christmas in Durango in 2014 will help doing that.

Christmas was picked to remind you that Christ was born on Christmas day as our HOPE for a future. For Anna on her journey, hope meant; a meeting with Jesus. Anna is derived from 'Hannah'. The name means 'grace' or 'favor'. She is identified as the wife of Phan'u-el. Phan'u-el means 'face of God' since Anna will be among the first to recognize the face of God when she sees the infant Jesus. Phan'u-el, her husband, was from the tribe of Asher, one of the northern tribes from the so-called ten lost tribes of Israel. 

“Anna’s Journey” strives to bring you the message of hope, love and peace and wants to remind you that meeting Jesus is really all that matters.   

John. 3: 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

 General Info:

Fact: Today, many honest hardworking American families struggle to make ends meet. Some, through no fault of their own, find themselves in serious financial trouble and never take the time out to relax and just put their feet up for a much needed vacation.  Many of these hardworking families include moms with breast cancer.

 The motive behind this gift is to allow one woman per year to enjoy a “White Christmas” vacation in Durango, Colorado.

 This is a gift to the selected nominee of ONE WEEK Resort vacation to be enjoyed during Christmas. Please check the website for Durango Resort info & directions: (https://www.wyndhamvacationresorts.com/ffr/resort/details.do?id=0042)
