Cancer Crossing has been asked to assist a man in his early 60s with progressive cancer of the head and neck. While he lives closer to Winnipeg than many others that we assist, his financial needs are every bit as daunting. His condition has deteriorated and he was on EI benefits and applying for CPP. He came to Winnipeg for emergency tracheostomy and has a feeding tube. He needed to return for appointments to see his surgical oncologist, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist. All those trips took a toll on his pocket as did extra medical supplies not covered by Manitoba Health, and he fell behind on his bills. Since he is prioritizing his housing expenses we assisted with transportation expenses so he can continue to drive to care in Winnipeg. We are pleased to be able to offer help thanks to donations from people just like you. Donate at http://www.cancercrossing.org/
