Clara L.

Clara is a Stage-3 lung cancer survivor whose commitment to CanCare is truly remarkable. What stands out about Clara is her unwavering willingness to take on any client who needs support. She discovered CanCare while volunteering at the hospital, where she saw CanCare volunteers interacting with clients in the radiation center. Clara’s dedication to her hospital volunteer role was so profound that she was frequently asked to speak at events to raise awareness about lung cancer.

Clara’s involvement with CanCare is characterized by her exceptional care and empathy. Each match she accepts reflects her genuine love and understanding for those she has never met but knows intimately through their shared battle with cancer. Her positive outlook and belief that appearance affects one’s feelings and energy contribute significantly to the support she provides.

She’s quick to emphasize that helping others and sharing her cancer experience is her true passion. Clara says, “surviving cancer has given me a clear purpose: to support others.” As she puts it, “There is no bigger high than to add something positive into someone’s life.” Clara’s dedication and compassion make her an invaluable part of the CanCare community.

When asked about the gift cancer gave her... “Cancer has connected me with so many people all around the US through my newfound passion and has paired me with a wonderful community. “
