Patient and Family Support Fund

The Patient and Family Support Fund was established to help cancer patients who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of their diagnosis. Cancer patients often cannot afford the basic necessities such as travel, accommodations, and meals, when receiving their treatment. The Fund is generously supported by donors and corporate sponsors such as Scotiabank, North Atlantic, and The Power of Life Project.

This fund makes a real difference in the lives of cancer patients, as demonstrated by the testimonials below:

“It was nice to know that there is help when you are really in need and the donations you made over the years are put to good use.”

“This is a great program, it gives people the chance to get treatment or a prosthesis or travel to a cancer centre that a lot of people wouldn’t have the funds to do. It gives people a chance to feel good about themselves again after having cancer. Support like this program is great, especially to the working class who can’t afford all the extra expenses that is associated with cancer. Thank you.”

“I think it’s a wonderful program. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I felt I had an angel on my side. Thank you so very much.”

“The help that the Patient and Family Support Fund is doing for us, words can’t describe it.”

“Very pleased with the help. It has lifted a heavy burden from me. Thank you so much.”
