Have you ever thought . . . ?

Greetings Friend

Have you ever thought about what your donations to CANSA really mean?

To those of us at CANSA, they mean your partnership in what we do, giving us the power to do it.

 But that’s only a small part of the meaning…

The heart of the meaning is what your donations do for the patients we serve, and for their loved ones, who are also affected.

 Here are just some of the meaningful differences you make through your donations:

If you can imagine the trauma of leaving home alone to undergo treatment in an unfamiliar town or city, then you can also imagine the value of the ‘home from home’ accommodation and care that your donations provide for patients.

If your heart goes out to a traumatised child dealing with yet another invasive needle, you’ll know how your donation to make a Broviac port possible can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt lost for lack of understanding, access to information, pragmatic advice, or an empathetic listening ear, then you’ll appreciate how your donations make all of these available.

If you’re someone who also sees the ‘big picture’, your donations towards research will be particularly meaningful.

And on a smaller scale, you’ll also understand the comfort that comes with your donated care pack for families who can’t afford the ordinary basics for their loved ones undergoing treatment.

Right now, with Covid-19 and its multiple effects, we can all feel stretched beyond endurance.  But if you can imagine being threatened by cancer itself, and therefore being highly vulnerable to the virus, then you’ll know how much any extra you could give by making an online donation here could make your most meaningful difference.

Above all, can you imagine the impact of knowing that ‘someone out there (a complete stranger) feels what you’re going through’, and cares enough to reach out to you, then you’ll know what your donations really mean.

Yours sincerely,

Elize Joubert

Chief Executive Officer
