I first came to Wellspring when my husband, Aaron, was diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Little Arabella was being shuttled from person to person while we dealt with cancer-related appointments. It was an extremely difficult time for us all. Wellspring gave us a place to catch our breath, to learn how to cope, to support Arabella through the children’s program, and to join other parents in learning and supporting one another.

Wellspring made a world of difference for our family. Sadly, Aaron died the next year. Despite our turmoil at that time, I donated to Wellspring to honour him, and to help keep the programs going for others.

As a single mother with stage four cancer, I worry about Arabella, and about what’s to come for us. I’m extremely fatigued and there are days when I have to pull myself out of bed to get over to Wellspring. But I come, and I feel better every time.

The Cancer Exercise program gives me strength and resilience, and the program leaders keep me going. I want you to know that your past support of Wellspring has helped so many people like me to access these programs when I needed them the most. Thank you for giving me and my family the opportunity to get the help we needed during such a critical time in our lives.
