“We don’t have to answer to any government group or agency. VTC came up with a solution: provide a card to pay for the gas. One of the officers, Kathy Kinard, explained that many cancer patients who must travel for treatment have traditionally incurred expenses that are hard for them to handle on restricted budgets. Many VTC members are cancer survivors themselves. What began back in 2012 as a couple of people talking about ways they could help cancer patients evolved to VTC, a dedicated, caring group of more than a dozen people who raise funds to help cancer victims and their families, and to spread awareness. The money they raised, just north of the $100 mark, was donated to Volunteers That Care. They placed a small table in front on the Husson family home on Seventh Street to peddle lemonade and snacks to those who were scurrying around town looking for bargains. While dozens of people who were hoping to make a few bucks set up yard, porch and garage sales during the Coudersport Townwide Yard Sales promotion, Lydia Husson and Annaliese Morley had other ideas.
