"I relied on CURE’s financial assistance to cover the costs related to my cancer treatment and childcare."

"We immigrated to Canada to provide our three daughters with a better future. However, I was diagnosed with breast cancer just before moving. Shortly after our arrival, I had surgery to remove my right breast. But my breast cancer returned. This time, it had also spread to my lungs. As soon I had begun my initial treatment, my husband left us. He didn’t provide any financial support, nor did he help care for our three children. Now a single mother in government housing, I relied on CURE’s financial assistance to cover the costs related to my cancer treatment and childcare. "
