Young mom from the Interlake needs support

 Cancer Crossing was approached by a woman from the Interlake. She is in her late 30s and has cervical cancer. There is no volunteer driving program in her community and she must travel to Winnipeg for many of her treatments, including daily radiation therapy. She is awaiting disability benefits and meanwhile her only source of income is child tax benefits. We were glad to be of help to her with a cheque to help pay for transportation. Cancer Crossing gladly accepts your donations so we can help those in need. https://cancercrossing.com/

Young dad receives help

 Cancer Crossing was approached to help a young dad with cancer. He and his wife have two small children. His wife was on maternity leave when he was diagnosed and so she is now caring for him as well as the children. She now has no income and he is on EI benefits. Their expenses exceed their income and so they need help. They must travel to Brandon and to Winnipeg for his treatments which is a financial hardship. Cancer Crossing is pleased to help them and send him best wishes for a return to full health. Help us help others, donate at https://cancercrossing.com/

Cancer patient is grateful for help

 When a parent has cancer it affects the entire family. Such was the case for a young mom and her son, who struggled with family issues and with her diagnosis. This mom asked for nothing for herself, but she did ask us to help her son with costs to play in a sports league. Due to her cancer she was not able to afford his fees. She wrote that she was amazed and her son was so grateful for the generosity that was given them through Cancer Crossing. Your help makes a difference in many lives, please donate at https://cancercrossing.com/. Charitable tax receipts will be given.

Thanks for help buying medications

 A recent client sent us a letter of thanks. She wrote that Cancer Crossing provided financial help so that she was able to pay for two months of medication. Her employer had canceled her extended health insurance after she went on disability and this left her with substantial bills to pay. Her suggestion to other cancer patients was to speak to the social worker that helps you through your cancer and have them assist you to find help. Once again we were pleased to step into the gap and help someone navigate their cancer and to provide some monetary assistance.

Woman with oral cancer

 A woman from western Manitoba has asked Cancer Crossing for financial help. She has an oral cancer and must stay in Winnipeg for many weeks while she undergoes radiation therapy. She would like to travel home on weekends in order to see her teenage child. This is out of reach for her and so we were pleased to offer a cheque to help pay for fuel. There are so many burdens and worries when a person has cancer and we are happy to have helped to lift one of them. Our sincere best wishes for a return to health.

Child from northern Manitoba

Cancer Crossing was approached to assist a family from northern Manitoba. Their young daughter has cancer which meant her leg would have to be amputated. Besides cancer, she now needs a prosthetic leg and to learn to walk again. This means staying in Winnipeg for an extended time and she is feeling isolated and missing her sibling. Her mother is with her and they needed help for the many extra expenses. Children should not have to deal with illness and grown up worries. While we can't solve that, we were pleased to be able to give monetary assistance to help where we could. Please help cancer patients in Manitoba by donating at https://cancercrossing.com/ charity tax receipts will be given.

Vault Cycle Fundraiser fun

Do it if you can! There are people with cancer, in hospital or in treatment, unwell and unable to get up and get going. But you know who DID get going? Over 25 people came out to @Vault Cycle Club for a high energy, fun spin class and to raise money for Cancer Crossing! That's right, on March 7th we had a full room of men and women giving it their all so they could support cancer patients in Manitoba.

Huge thanks go out to @Vault Cycle Club for offering us a discounted rate. Also huge thanks to Allyson Kendall who graciously donated her time to instruct the class.
