In March 2024, Wellspring implemented a significant system change that unified all affiliate organizations into a single digital platform. This integration marks a major step forward in streamlining our operations and enhancing our ability to serve our community. As part of this transition, significant data cleanup is underway, and will continue until the end of 2024. As a result, for the purposes of reporting our last fiscal, some numbers have been approximated based on available information. Going forward, this new system will allow us to report on our numbers in a consistent way, and enable us to accurately report on the unique individuals we serve across the network.

I’m so incredibly grateful for how things have turned out for me, and for all the support I’ve received from Wellspring. Helping others through such a challenging time is how I show my gratitude.

These programs were like a lifeline for me. Through the Oasis support group, I learnt that I’m not alone and I got some ‘normalcy’ back into my life. When I started Cancer Exercise, I was hunched over and walking with a cane. About a month into the program, I let go of my cane, which was a huge achievement. It’s now almost a year I can actually walk standing up straight and I have less pain.

Losing my husband to cancer was devastating for me and for our daughter. Being diagnosed with that same, rare form of cancer years later felt catastrophic. Wellspring pulled us through some of the darkest moments when my husband died, and it is getting us through this time too.
