CANSA Donor Appeal for Mandela Day

Hello Friend

This Mandela Day we ask that you would help us to ‘do what we can, with what we have, where we are’ to help cancer patients, caregivers and loved ones, as they battle cancer. You can support these specific areas of CANSA’s work, listed below, per area of need and contact the responsible staff member.

Your donation will enable us to keep on supporting those who have been affected by cancer. General online donations towards CANSA’s work may be made on the CANSA Website.

We are so thankful to be making a difference in the lives of those we serve through our Tele Counselling service, launched 2 years ago on Mandela Day. Read about how many lives we have touched in our media release…

Many thanks!

CANSA CEO

List of Needs

Help us Create a Home-Away-from-Home during Cancer Treatment

What if you lived too far away from the nearest cancer treatment centre, and you weren’t able to receive treatment as a result? CANSA makes provision for adult patients at its 8 Care Homes across the country, and for parents / guardians / children and teens through its 2 TLC Lodges, 1 TLC Ward and 1 Teenage Support Room at Tygerberg Hospital, to provide accommodation near treatment centres for up to six weeks, providing meals and transport too*.

Help us with the following…

Help us Provide a Listening Ear to those Fighting Cancer

Imagine receiving a cancer diagnosis, or discovering that a loved one, friend or colleague has been diagnosed with cancer. Sometimes those closest to us are not equipped to deal with our emotions or concerns. Who would you turn to? CANSA’s psycho-social support services include a free Tele Counselling (available in 7 languages), a Tele Stoma service, face to face individual counselling, support groups and online support groups.

What our counsellors need:

Equip our Nurses to Detect Cancer Early

You’d certainly agree that doing everything you can to detect cancer early and give treatment a chance to succeed is better than a late diagnosis, when treatment is no longer an option. Our CANSA nurses play a vital role in screening for cancer and educating regarding symptoms of cancer.

Help make their jobs a little easier, by providing the following…

Help Mobilise our Volunteers to Fight Cancer in their Communities

Their hands, feet and hearts are willing to assist us in the work we do to support those affected by cancer, but they are often unemployed and don’t receive payment for what they do, but do it as a labour of love. Will you help mobilise our selfless volunteers in their local communities so that they can help educate to lower cancer risk and offer care and support services?

These items would go a long way towards helping them achieve their goals…
