Cancer Crossing has been asked to provide help to a 65 year old gentleman living east of Winnipeg. He has a recent diagnosis of gastroesphageal cancer and has daily trips to Winnipeg for treatment. Total distance to be traveled is in excess of 2000 km. He needs help for gas and parking expenses and we are are pleased to be able to step in.
Some families go through unrelenting hardship. Such was the case for a young family living south of Winnipeg. First, the young mom received a shocking diagnosis of inoperable brain cancer. She soon started on the difficult treatment plan that included daily trips for radiation, chemo and appointments. Her husband ended up taking EI caregiver leave as she was no longer able to drive and was on permanent disability. Family stepped in to help their young children's routines, getting to school etc. Very unexpectedly the husband also received a cancer diagnosis and is embarking on his own treatment plan of chemo and surgery. To say this is devastating is an understatement. They desperately needed help as they had to place a hold on mortgage payments due to the drop in income. Fortunately Cancer Crossing was able to give them a little help to ease their financial burden. Please help us help others, donate at https://cancercrossing.com/
Watch this space! We have an upcoming spin class fundraiser in March. Full details to follow.
Good news! The City of Winnipeg has set up payroll deduction for employees to donate to Cancer Crossing automatically. We are now a registered charity and all donations are provided with a tax receipt. Automatic payroll donations are a one-time set up, making this an easy way to help Manitobans with cancer. https://www.winnipeg.ca/
Cancer Crossing has received thanks from a grateful recipient. We assisted a gentleman who wrote to us later to tell us that it was a huge help in being able to get to appointments. He expressed surprise as well as he had no idea that help was available until his social worker told him. He tells other cancer patients to not give up hope! Your donations help other Manitobans with cancer, please give at https://cancercrossing.com/ a tax receipt is given.
