Your Generous Gift Helps Local Cancer Patients Like Deborah Facing Financial Hardship

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it affects many aspects of their life, and may impact their ability to earn a living. There are cancer patients right here in our community who have had to leave their jobs behind to focus on treatment. This circumstance often brings with it a great deal of financial distress. In an attempt to alleviate some of the financial burden, the Patient Assistance Fund was created. The Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation’s Patient Assistance Fund is available for emergency use when all other forms of financial assistance are not available.

It is very challenging for most to even come forward and ask for assistance. When a local cancer patient does, they need things like fresh food, transportation to treatment, and support to cover medical and dental expenses. Requests for support from the Patient Assistance Fund are assessed by Social Workers within the Windsor Regional Cancer Program.

Items Appearing In Requests For Patient Assistance

By supporting the Patient Assistance Fund, your generous tax-deductible gift will provide necessities like the items listed below. Please consider gifting one of these necessities to our local cancer patients in financial hardship. When you make your donation, you have the option to choose one of these pre-set amounts, or donate the gift amount of your choosing.

Help patients like Kim, who lost her coverage when she had to leave her job behind, yet still needs to maintain her oral health. Or consider patients like Marianne, who needs to travel from Tilbury three times a week to receive vital treatment. Or perhaps a patient just like Dennis, who is in treatment, is unable to work, and struggles to provide fresh food for himself and two growing children.

Gift A Clean Smile.

Your gift of $100 will cover dental fees for one teeth cleaning appointment for a local cancer patient who is currently without dental insurance.

Gift Transportation.

Your gift of $150 will fill a tank of gas (maybe two) for local cancer patients that must get themselves to the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre for treatment.

Gift Nourishment.

Your gift of $200 will fund the purchase of fresh produce and perishable items for local cancer patients and their families in need.

Gift Relief.

Your thoughtful gift in the amount of your choosing will provide financial relief to a local cancer patient facing financial hardship this year.
