Cancer Assistance Program

Great friendly professional and caring needs. They are such a big help as my husband deals with his cancer

Approximate 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer and stayed 7 months at Juravinski Hospital. In need of some equipment due to complications I was referred to CAP. The Social Worker from the hospital took care of assessing my needs and arranged for several items to be sent to my apartment upon being discharged. This included a wheelchair, grab bar for the bathroom and a shower seat. They were promptly shipped to my home. Additionally, I was enrolled in their driver assistance program that helps transport you to any Cancer related appointments. I've yet to use this service, but it's super to know it's available when needed. Thanks for the help CAP, Todd!

The staff here are so caring and extremely compassionate. Thank you for everything that you did for my late husband and now for helping me!! It's greatly appreciated beyond words!!

Thank you for this service.I needed this service in Sept 2020 for a family member and they make life easier, and give the patient no pressure with equipment, help with parking, I was very impressed and donated to this Hamilton service for Christmas. With COVID, I have only spoken on the phone and gone to the back door to pick up items. All you volunteers are angels to give of your time and energy, you make a difference and thank you! Blessings to all volunteers!

very considerate staff and helpful programs.

The volunteers here are just amazing and so nice. So many wonderful services that they provide at no cost.

During my cancer journey, CAP has been indispensable. They provided transportation to my numerous appointments, all by kind, caring and uplifting drivers. These drivers all assisted in far more ways than they are aware. I live on the far border of the Hamilton boundary and during these long rides, my anxiety was greatly reduced by the conversation with each and every driver. Calling CAP to arrange a ride was always handled with patience and kindness by Sandy and her crew. I eventually gathered up the strength and courage to go in a a bra fitting and prosthesis and found the dearest little lady doing the fitting, to be supportive and encouraging. I was so anxiety ridden about the whole situation, but she was so sweet and kind, and set my mind at ease. The food from Zarky's was a huge help, particularly right after my surgery. The personal care items and meal suppliments were most definitely appreciated. I don't know how I could ever thank the numerous people whose hard work and compassion helped myself and thousands of other cancer patients, through their terrifying and life altering experience with cancer. My journey is not completely over, but they got me through the worst of it and I thank God they were there!

I would never been able to survive this unexpected journey without the wonderful program and people at CAP. Even before l was released from the hospital they were helping with assistive devices, food and rides to cancer appointments. I am so thankful to staff, volunteers and those that donate to the program

I’m so grateful for the services provided by CAP. Cancer is so isolating & was even more so during the pandemic. The Cancer Assistance Program helped me face some of my health challenges and fears with kindness and support. Thank you to the wonderful staff and volunteers.

I can not say enough about the cancer assistance program! How quickly they came to my dad's aid when he needed them. They immediately helped with transportation when I can not do it. They found him a walker and cane the same day I called and are simply an amazing organization!They are volunteer based, so if you have the time, give them a call and offer some of your time.
