About our Caregiver Support

If you are in crisis, please call Manitoba Suicide Prevention & Support Line (24/7) 1-877-435-7170; Crisis Line (24/7) 204-786-8686 1-888-322-3019

Caring for a loved one can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be exhausting. Many caregivers, especially spouses and adult children, balance work, family life, and their own well being while supporting someone through cancer.

This role often involves constant responsibility, both practical and emotional. Over time, the pressure to stay strong for someone else can lead to fatigue, stress, and burnout. Our caregiver support recognizes these challenges and offers a place where caregivers can feel heard, supported, and cared for too.

How we Help

Support begins with a conversation. We take time to understand what you are carrying day to day and how you are feeling in your role as a caregiver.

Together, we look for ways to ease some of the pressure. This may include opportunities for rest and renewal, such as passes to a local indoor garden, self care items or massage supports, or meal gift certificates so you do not have to worry about cooking. 

When helpful, we also connect caregivers with trusted community resources that can offer additional guidance and support.

I hate to have to tell you that our daughter Meaghan passed away peacefully on Saturday (April 13) surrounded by her family. They seem very compassionate and professional. We are so grateful with your assistance for accommodations. It means more than you know. Thank you so much.

Humility was my greatest lesson. I had everything and with a blink of an eye, everything disappeared. When you lose everything, you learn a lot about who people are. It could happen to anyone. If it wasn’t for Never Alone Cancer Foundation, I believe I would be dead right now.
