“Volunteer drivers keep patients out of hospital and at home with their families. That’s huge to us.”
By giving to our Urgent Christmas Appeal today, you can give hope to those going through cancer.
When Charyl was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, her
diagnosis plunged her into a world she couldn’t have imagined.
““Part of the reason I was in hospital for so long was I had some emergency surgery which [led to] dehydration issues. I don’t get enough fluids and electrolytes… As part of getting me home, my
oncologist stepped in and said to the hospital team that the best way forward was to support me to live well rather than keeping me in hospital.”
Her treatment plan requires daily travel to Kenepuru or Wellington Hospital, so Charyl began using the Cancer Society’s volunteer driver service to get to her appointments.
All our drivers volunteer their time. Even so, each return journey costs us on average around $40.00 just for petrol reimbursement. This Christmas, you can help give someone with cancer a lift by supporting us to get them to where they need to be. Donate $120 and make three return journeys possible. Donate $200 and help us provide five return journeys – enough for a week of appointments for someone like Charyl.
“Before I got ill, I didn’t realise the extent of the difference that Cancer Society makes not just for those who are ill, but for those around them. It wasn’t until I was on the receiving end of it that I fully understood the magnitude of the difference that [their support] makes.”
When you’re donating to Cancer Society, you’re making sure no one faces cancer alone and unsupported - not now, not ever. Having that acceptance and care was worth so much to Charyl.
A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. But the awful reality is that 1 in 3 New Zealanders will face cancer in their lifetime.
It starts with you. Please donate now.
