CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS STAGE IV LUNG CANCER PATIENT WITH PHONE BILL

Cancer Crossing has assisted a Winnipeg woman with Stage IV lung cancer.

Due to her treatment, she had to quit working full time and started receiving EI benefits.  This reduced income has affected her greatly.  Her phone is about to be cut off yet she needs her phone for clinical appointments and communication with her doctors.
Cancer Crossing has assisted this patient with funds to pay her phone bill so she does not lose connection with her health care team.

Cancer Crossing helps those who 'fall between the cracks'.

Please support our cause so we can continue to assist cancer patients! We are receiving many requests.
Cheques may be mailed to Cancer Crossing Inc., 1-1660 Kenaston Blvd., PO Box 70029, Winnipeg, MB R3P 0X6

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS SELF EMPLOYED BREAST CANCER PATIENT WHO CANNOT WORK AND WHO IS LOSING HER BUSINESS

Cancer Crossing has assisted a woman living in the eastern beaches area of Manitoba.  She has breast cancer and after chemo, is scheduled for surgery then radiation.

She is self employed and as a result of her poor health, she cannot work at this time.  On top of this, due to unfortunate circumstances, her business is falling into foreclosure.  Her income is minimal and she is struggling financially.  She has received information on potential resources available to her and she will be making applications, but she needs help now.
Cancer Crossing has been able to make a contribution to her mounting expenses.  Hopefully, she can get some assistance coming in shortly.

CANCER CROSSING CHOSEN AS BENEFICIARY OF A 'COST AND CAUSE' FUNDRAISER!

Cancer Crossing has been the beneficiary of a ‘Cost and Cause’ Fundraiser!  In case you are not familiar with these events, here is the scenario:

Lindsey Marie is a Winnipeg breast cancer patient.  She is a young woman with two young children.  Her friends and family got together and put on a ‘Cost and Cause’ Fundraiser on Saturday, May 11th at a local community centre. 
The proceeds from the event are to go to the extra expenses Lindsey is facing due to her cancer treatment.  That is the ‘Cost’ part. 
Lindsey then decided that a portion of the proceeds raised would go to a ‘Cause’ and in her case, she chose Cancer Crossing as the cause to support. 

See photo from the event with Dr. Tse Li Luk (our Founder), Lindsey and her beautiful children, and one of our Outreach Volunteers, Kristine.  Lindsey is such a kind and caring young woman who sees beyond herself with concern regarding the community at large.  We cannot thank her enough for thinking of us as her 'Cause'.

If you know anyone with cancer who is struggling financially, please have them contact Cancer Crossing and we’ll see what we can do to help.  You might also think of putting on one of these events for your friend/family member.  Not only will it help them financially but you know the phrase, ‘it takes a Village to raise a child’, the same can be said for cancer patients.  The more friends and family who pitch in and offer support (in any way really) provide a circle of care (a Village if you will)  around the person – at a time when it is needed the most.
