I hope this update finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to update you on how your generous donations have been making a significant impact on families facing the unimaginable challenge of a child’s cancer diagnosis. Thanks to your kindness, we are able to provide crucial support to families 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through our four core pillars of support. These services are at the heart of everything we do, and we could not continue our work without the support of donors like you.
Our Core Pillars of Support:
Financial Support For many families, a child's cancer diagnosis brings with it the burden of lost income. 42% of parents are forced to leave their jobs, and many incur debt as they struggle to cope with the financial strain. Your donations have allowed us to provide financial support to ease this hardship, helping families cover essential costs like travel to and from hospital appointments, accommodation, and other living expenses. This support is often a lifeline, allowing parents to focus on their child's treatment rather than worrying about financial survival.
Emotional Support Cancer is an emotional rollercoaster for families, and the isolation and despair can be overwhelming. Through your support, we provide 24/7 emotional support through personal contact and counselling. This ensures that families never have to face their struggles alone. Whether it's offering a listening ear, providing emotional guidance, or simply offering comfort during the darkest moments, your donations help us ensure families feel supported every step of the way.
Practical Support Navigating the complexities of cancer treatment, financial entitlements, and medical procedures can be daunting. Your generosity has enabled us to offer practical support through vital information, guidance, and resources. From explaining treatment options to providing clear instructions on accessing financial benefits, we help families feel less overwhelmed and better equipped to handle the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.
Respite Breaks For families enduring the constant stress of treatment, respite is essential. Thanks to your contributions, we are able to provide free respite breaks and holiday opportunities for families, giving them the chance to step away from their daily struggles and create lasting memories together. These moments of peace and joy are invaluable, offering families a much-needed break from the emotional and physical toll of cancer.
A Lasting Impact
Your ongoing support enables us to continue providing these critical services to families who need them the most. We know that every donation, no matter the size, makes a profound difference in the lives of these families, offering hope, support, and relief when it is most needed.
We are truly grateful for your commitment to our cause. If you would like to continue supporting these families or would like more information on how you can get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families affected by cancer.
Thank you again for your compassion and generosity.
Warm regards,
