David Geaney, a retired Air Force veteran from Weare, New Hampshire, has been carving crosses for cancer patients for over 26 years. His journey began when he salvaged a piece of wood and crafted three crosses, the first of which was sent to his cousin battling leukemia. Since then, Geaney has created thousands of 'cancer crosses' that he gifts to patients worldwide, often accompanied by a prayer card. Recipients have shared numerous stories of healing, with many expressing that the crosses brought them peace and hope during their battles with cancer. Geaney's wife, Teresa, plays a crucial role in this mission, packaging the crosses and ensuring they are sent out free of charge. The couple has received heartfelt letters from both believers and non-believers, with some describing their experiences as miraculous. Despite facing his own health challenges, including open-heart surgery and pancreatic cancer, Geaney feels a divine purpose in his work, stating, 'Oh, God has plans for me, he must have.'
