Supporting Cancer Patients

The Patient & Family Support Fund continues to be our area of greatest need. There are situations where patients cannot afford basic needs such as groceries to feed their families, or gas for their car to travel to their treatment appointments. Through your donations to the Patient & Family Support Fund, you are there to help them when they need it most.

The generosity of our donors also makes it possible for patients to receive financial assistance with unexpected costs that arise during their treatment such as: costs associated with travelling to receive their treatment; and medical supplies (such as a prosthetic, or a lymphedema sleeve).

If you are a patient who would like to know more about the fund, please call the Cancer Care Program’s Social Work department to meet with a social worker at (709)777-7604.

The Kids With Cancer Travel Fund provides short-term financial assistance for accommodations, travel, and meals to children with cancer and their families. Newfoundland & Labrador is a large area, and through your generous donations, we are able to assist pediatric cancer patients and their families across the province with the costs of travelling to receive their treatment.

These families are going through what is often the most stressful time of their lives, and your contributions help remove some of the financial worries that come with their child’s cancer diagnosis.
