CANCER CROSSING PROVIDES 'FLEXIBLE FUNDING' FOR FAMILY OF YOUNG WOMAN WITH ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA

Cancer Crossing has assisted a southwest Manitoba family whose young adult daughter has acute myeloid leukemia. 
Her mother has been using her sick time from work to be in Winnipeg with her daughter, while her daughter has a stem cell transplant - which means a month long stay in the city.  This extended period from work and the expense of staying in Winnipeg is causing the family financial distress.
Post discharge, she would like to obtain a scooter for her daughter so that she can begin to get outside while being independently mobile.  Cancer Crossing has made a contribution towards the cost of the scooter.   If her daughter feels she can do without a scooter, the financial assistance will go towards the cost incurred to stay in Winnipeg for the month. 
Cancer Crossing is pleased to be able to be a 'flexible funder'.  We understand circumstances can change quickly and we are not going to take our funding away should the daughter not require a scooter.  We are happy to have the contribution remain with the family and in this particular case, be used for travel expenses.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS METASTATIC LIVER CANCER PATIENT WITH FUNDS TOWARDS PURCHASE OF A MEDICAL SCOOTER

Cancer Crossing has assisted a Winnipeg gentleman with metastatic liver cancer.

Prior to his cancer diagnosis, he was already confined to a wheelchair for another health issue from long ago. 
Cancer treatment has fatigued him enormously and he can no longer move the wheelchair himself which has greatly reduced his independence and he now relies on others to leave his home. 
He is desperate to feel a sense of independence and with his low income cannot afford a medical scooter or electric wheelchair.
He does not meet the coverage criteria for financial aid for a medical scooter.  Cancer Crossing has made a contribution towards the purchase of a medical scooter.  He has sourced the lowest cost medical scooter he can find and is working hard to gather the rest of the funds as his loss of independence has demoralized him greatly.
