Join Us in Supporting Cancer Patients: Help Us Print Patient Planners and Information Brochures

Make it stand out

Please help us print more of these valuable resources.

Dear Head and Neck Cancer Community,

As Chair of the Head and Neck Cancer Support Network, I write to you today with gratitude and a humble request. Since our inception, our mission has been clear: to provide unwavering support to those battling head and neck cancer and their loved ones. Today, I reach out to you to seek your assistance in continuing this vital work.

One of the essential tools we offer to cancer patients is our patient planners. These planners serve as invaluable resources, aiding patients in organising their appointments, medications, and important contacts amidst the whirlwind of treatments and consultations. They are not just notebooks; they are lifelines, offering structure and support during what can often feel like an overwhelming journey.

In addition to these planners, we produce informational brochures about our organisation and the wide array of services we provide. These brochures act as beacons of hope, guiding individuals and families towards the support they need during one of the most challenging times of their lives.

However, as much as we strive to provide these resources to all who need them, we face a harsh reality: the demand for our services far exceeds our current capabilities. Despite our careful stewardship of funds, we find ourselves stretched thin, unable to meet the needs of every individual reaching out to us for support.

It's important to emphasise that every cent we receive is carefully allocated to ensure maximum impact. We understand the weight of the responsibility entrusted to us by our donors and those we serve. That's why we work tirelessly to stretch every dollar, ensuring it reaches those who need it most.

But we cannot do this alone. We need your help. By supporting us in printing patient planners and information brochures, you're not just funding materials; you're providing comfort, guidance, and hope to those amid their cancer journey. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a tangible difference in the lives of so many.

I'd like to take a moment to share some heartening feedback we've received recently. A nurse, whom we've had the privilege of collaborating with, has conveyed how our resources have positively impacted her patients. Hearing about the relief and comfort these tools provide warms our hearts and reinforces the importance of our mission. Additionally, knowing that loved ones, like the father mentioned, find solace in our offerings is a testament to the significance of our work.

So, to each and every one of you who has supported us thus far, I extend a heartfelt thank you. Your generosity fuels our efforts and brings light into the lives of those navigating the darkest of times.

If you're able, please consider donating to our cause. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families.
