Purpose of Telethon

CANSA is having a telethon to raise funds towards our 8 Care Homes situated country-wide.

Because rural districts don’t have oncology clinics, cancer patients living there have to move to unfamiliar and often distant bigger centres for up to six weeks to receive life-saving treatment – this can cause added trauma.

Our Care Homes, located close to treatment centres, provide patients with accommodation, healthy meals, and transport to and from treatment centres. Not to mention, important information and emotional support.

Our Care Homes are a safe haven for patients who require cancer treatment. Help us keep these safe havens open while our dedicated CANSA staff and volunteers are ensuring that patients are cared for and supported.

Patients also receive care and support through our CANSA Tele Counselling line which is free and online support groups.

Will you give us the support we need to keep our Care Home doors open and make a difference in the lives of cancer patients?

How Your Donation Counts

• It will tell people living with cancer that they’re not alone. And if they’re fearful, you, and CANSA, are here for them.
• The donation is used towards the cost of the running of the Care Homes, electricity, water, food, petrol for transport to and from the hospitals and treatment centres, security to keep patients safe and general operating costs to make it a home-from-home for patients.
• CANSA continues to educate about cancer to lower the cancer risk, do screening for early detection of cancer and provide care and support programmes for all affected by cancer.
