Wings of Hope is a registered, 100% volunteer-run, charitable organization that provides financial relief for basic living expenses, allowing breast cancer patients to focus on their recovery. Patients who are receiving treatment from the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre or have received treatment previously from the Tom Baker Cancer Centre are eligible for funding. Funding currently covers housing (rent/mortgage), groceries and utilities. Since its founding in 1996, Wings of Hope—thanks to the unwavering support of donors, sponsors and volunteers—has raised more than $1.3 million to provide direct financial assistance to those facing breast cancer treatment and struggling to afford basic necessities for themselves and their families. This crucial support allows recipients to focus on healing and recovery without the added burden of financial stress. Of the total funds raised, 71% have been directed towards housing, with over 750 instances of support provided, while 20% has helped put groceries on the table. The remaining funds have been allocated across utilities, medical costs, phone bills, and transportation. With the rising cost of living, the demand for Wings of Hope’s assistance continues to grow.
