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 helps those who 'fall between the cracks'.

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 married and he and his wife are providing a stable home environment for their step granddaughter. They took her in when his stepdaughter proved she was not fit to parent.  

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.

Cancer Crossing has provided financial support to this gentleman to help with the cost of his travels to Brandon for radiation treatment.
