CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS WITH AMBULANCE BILL

We hope everyone has had a great summer and are looking toward the upcoming change in seasons.

We continue to be 100% volunteer driven and our 'to do' list continues to grow - as do the numbers of patients we continue to support. 

We are looking for a volunteer who can keep our Social Media updated - somebody with about an hour a week, who knows how a Facebook Page works (or who wants to learn), and who has writing/grammar skills. Until we find that person, these posts will continue to be sporadic but please know that our patient supports continue to be weekly.  On that topic, Cancer Crossing has assisted a gentleman living north of the Duck Mountain Provincial Park. 

He has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He is the primary caregiver to two adult sons with special needs and a wife who has health concerns of her own. He is on a very limited income and recently found himself in a lot of pain and reluctant to call an ambulance due to the cost. Eventually he did make the ambulance call and now cannot pay the bill.

Cancer Crossing has assisted with his ambulance bill.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS PATIENT WHO RAN OUT OF TRAVEL FUNDS MID-WAY THROUGH CHEMOTHERAPY

Cancer Crossing has assisted a gentleman living 3 hours north of Winnipeg in a beautiful little town. He has been diagnosed with oropharyngeal carcinoma. He made it midway through his chemo treatment at the nearest cancer treatment facility but then the cost to travel to his treatment became formidable.  He is on CPP-Disability which barely covers the monthly costs for he and his wife. 

Cancer Crossing has provided him with financial assistance to help him continue to attend his chemotherapy appointments.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS ELDERLY GENTLEMAN WHOSE ONLY METHOD OF TRANSPORT TO TREATMENT IS VIA HIS SISTER WHO RESIDES IN ANOTHER COMMUNITY

Cancer Crossing has assisted a gentleman from rural Manitoba who has renal cell carcinoma.

He has decreased mobility and is unable to access the volunteer driving program in his community because his mobility is too compromised for the program.  The Wheels of Hope Program has no available drivers in his area either.  

His only income is CPP/OAS plus a federal supplement. He had a bit more money before but fell victim to an elderly financial scam.  

His sister is able to assist him with transport to and from his medical and treatment appointments, but she does not live in his community so she must commute to attend to his travel needs.

Cancer Crossing has provided financial assistance to this gentleman and his sister for fuel, so that travel to his medical care can be achieved.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS RECTAL CANCER PATIENT WITH TRAVEL COSTS FOR RADIATION TREATMENT

Cancer Crossing has assisted a 56 year old gentleman from western Manitoba with rectal cancer. 

He had a difficult upbringing which included abuse, abandonment and living on the streets resulting in a life of anxiety and depression. He has done a lot of work to turn his life around.

He is on CPP Disability and his wife works in a care home.

He needs to travel two hours one way to Brandon for radiation treatment. The cost of travel for this course of radiation is a financial hardship for this family.
