About our Financial 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

A cancer diagnosis affects more than physical and emotional well being. It can also create real financial strain. Many people find themselves unable to work, needing time away from work, or taking on added responsibilities while caring for a loved one.

Treatment can also bring unexpected expenses. Never Alone Cancer Foundation offers financial assistance to qualified applicants to help reduce some of that burden. To receive support, applicants are asked to provide confirmation of diagnosis and household income.

How we Help

Financial assistance may be available for a range of essential needs. This can include: 

  • non covered medical expenses
  • transportation and parking for treatments
  • dental expenses
  • lymphedema & physiotherapy treatments
  • palliative care support
  • basic needs (nutritional support, cell phone etc.) 

Our goal is to help relieve financial pressure so individuals and families can focus on what matters most during treatment and recovery.

Lymphedema Support

Lymphedema is swelling that develops because of a build-up of fluid in the body’s tissues. This happens when the lymphatic system, which normally drains the fluid away, isn’t working properly. It can occur in any part of the body, but is most likely to affect an arm or a leg. Please reach out if you are suffering from lymphedema caused by cancer or cancer treatments and are unable to afford the proper care.

 

Winnipeg Soup Fairies

Winnipeg Soup Fairies

The Winnipeg Soup Fairies (Paulette Cote and Peter Czehryn) started delivering soup to family members affected by COVID and realized how much of a need there was in our community. After losing a family member to cancer, they decided giving back was the best way to lift community spirit (and their own) one bowl of soup at a time.

The Never Alone Cancer Foundation reached out to the Soup Fairies to inquire if they would consider delivering soup to people affected by cancer and that is how this wonderful partnership began!

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.
