Cancer Crossing assisted a young woman from the Parkland region who is a single mom to three boys. In the spring of 2023 she was diagnosed with a rare cancer that affects the central nervous system causing tumors in the brain and spine. She underwent a 12-hour surgery to remove a tumor from the base of her spine and in September she completed 6 weeks of radiation therapy.
From the day she received her diagnosis she made numerous trips to Winnipeg for medical appointments and treatments and was required to stay in Winnipeg for the duration of her radiation therapy. She was struggling to make ends meet and at the suggestion of an oncology social worker she was put in touch with Cancer Crossing, who provided her with support in the way of fuel.
Cancer Crossing helps those who ‘fall between the cracks.’
Upon completing our patient questionnaire for Cancer Crossing she included this handwritten note:
"Thank you for your most generous donation to help my family and I.
Organizations such as yours are like beacons of light during the uncertainty of living with cancer”
