“Thank you so much for your help. You are my guardian angel!”
- Marjorie
“Thank you for all the help you provided me during my cancer treatments. I cannot put into words the appreciation I feel toward your organization. I live out in the country and for more than a year there were countless trips to the doctors and hospitals for tests and treatments. Not to mention the prescription drugs and miscellaneous items that I needed to help me through this ordeal.”
- Martha
“I wish to ... express my “Gratitude” for your cheque to cover my transportation costs ... Women lose so much in wages, their CPP contributions are lost, and so many out of the pocket expenses ... but thanks to your organization I can pay this most important bill.”
- Bonnie
“There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for the help I received from you. It has greatly lightened the financial load... a big bouquet of “thanks” to you all and God Bless you in continuing this service.”
- Elsie
“This has truly been a gift from Heaven that I will treasure forever. You truly do understand how difficult life can get when a person gets sick.”
- Myla
“I remember sitting in the doctor's office ... I would have to go to radiation ... and I sat there stunned and told him outright that I couldn't go every day, you see there is no way that I could even afford the gas, let alone the parking ... I was feeling defeated ... if it hadn't been for you and all you do, then I wouldn't have gone to my treatments and who knows where I would be today.”
- Julie
“I was diagnosed with locally advanced, triple negative, inflammatory breast cancer ... I then moved continents with my children while in treatment. I was exhausted, physically and emotionally ... Helping Hands financial help freed me to focus on getting through my treatment, supporting my family ... and beginning to set up a new life. It has been invaluable, and I can't thank them enough.”
