"As a single mother, I had new expenses due to my stage 3 breast cancer"

"Being self-employed in a physically demanding field, I didn’t qualify for either employment insurance or disability benefits. Even though I initially tried to continue working, the cancer treatments left me too unwell to manage my business. I lost most of my income. As a single mother of an 8-year-old and an 11-year-old, I had a hard time paying my monthly bills alongside new expenses related to my stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis. CURE helped me tremendously. "
