Your support today can make a world of difference to families like Paula and Mark's

For Paula, a beloved teacher and dedicated mother of three, life took a sudden turn last October. After years of giving her all to her students and community, Paula was diagnosed with stage four bladder cancer.

.

"It hit me really hard," Paula shared. "I was in a dark place, but I knew I couldn't sit still and do nothing. That's just not me."

With her strength and resilience, Paula sought support. Through a friend, she learned about Cancer Society Wellington Division's counselling services.

"Before seeing Viv, I was a bit messy, and she helped me to see the path forward,"

Paula's husband Mark, grappling with his own fears of possibly having to raise their children alone, also sought advice and counselling support from the Cancer Society.

Counselling has allowed Mark to find strength and hope, helping him to be there for his family as they navigate their journey together.

With a donation today, you'll be helping to ensure that more families like Paula's have access to free counselling and other essential support.

Your kindness enables us to be there for people facing cancer in our community, providing wraparound support when it's needed most.

As Paula says, "Your contribution to the Cancer Society really does make a difference. Viv helped me to gain a more positive outlook. I now live every day as my 'best day' and rejoice in being alive."
