Dear community,
There are moments when we read a message, hear a story, or see someone struggling with cancer and feel something real. A knot in the stomach. A quiet sadness. A wish to help.
And then… life continues. Not because we don’t care but because we don’t know what would actually help.
Cancer doesn’t only change someone’s health. It changes how they live their days. It adds pressure where there was already little space. It forces people to be strong when they are already tired. Often, what hurts most isn’t the diagnosis itself, but everything that quietly piles up around it.
We support cancer warriors with practical, non-medical help, the kind that makes life feel a little less heavy. Groceries when money is tight. Transport to treatment. Bills that don’t wait. Small healing dreams that remind someone they are still more than their illness.
Recently, we supported two such dreams.
One came from Susan, a breast cancer survivor who runs free art-journaling workshops for other cancer warriors. She wanted to reach more people, not to teach art, but to give others a place to breathe, express what’s hard to say, and feel less alone. With financial support, she can now offer these workshops to more patients.
Another was an initiative connected to Asociația Antrenament pentru Viață, supporting women diagnosed with cancer. These women are navigating treatment while trying to hold onto their sense of self, their confidence, their everyday life. The support helps them rebuild structure and connection during a time when everything feels uncertain.
These are not big, dramatic stories. They are quiet ones. But they matter.
Right now, we are reviewing new healing dreams and support requests. Each one represents someone who reached a point where managing alone became too much and asking for help felt necessary.
This is why donations matter, especially now. Support given in December does not disappear into the future. It shows up now — at the grocery store, on the way to treatment, in moments when someone needs reassurance that they haven’t been forgotten.
If Christmas has ever reminded you how fragile and precious life is, this is one way to act on that feeling.
