About our Emotional Support
A cancer diagnosis can bring a wide range of emotions. Fear, sadness, anger, and feeling overwhelmed are common, both for those diagnosed and for those caring for them.
Everyone experiences these emotions differently and at different times. Our emotional support offers a safe place to talk, be heard, and feel understood during a difficult time.
How we Help
When someone reaches out, we respond as quickly as possible. Stress is often high, and timely support matters.
We listen with compassion, acknowledge how hard this moment is, and focus on what can help right now.
We also help connect individuals and families to other trusted community supports when appropriate. Often, that care includes a comforting blanket and a handwritten card, a small but meaningful reminder that they are Never Alone.

Client Stories
Dave Stock
"It started with one tooth breaking, then another, until they all cracked," Dave recalls, highlighting the toll of his battle with the disease. Never Alone Cancer Foundation supported Dave by purchasing his first mobility scooter, enabling him to share a memorable bike ride with his daughter.
Judy & Peter Murphy Parents of Meaghan Murphy
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.
Kathleen Fingarsen
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.
