I am a cancer survivor. I felt a connection to CanCare's mission and in 2023, decided to become a volunteer after learning about the organization. One memorable moment occurred when I reached out to a client whose mother requested support on her behalf. We have grown to have a good relationship and we often laugh on the phone together. She and I both agree it was destined for us to meet. Now, she texts me and calls me while in her appointments to ask me questions or to explain what the provider is saying in layman's terms.
To anyone thinking about seeking support from CanCare… Do it! Working with CanCare and supporting survivors or patients is the most rewarding part of giving back. After being afraid, crying, and journeying through, providing support is like balm to the spirit.
