The emotional, financial and practical challenges of a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. And sometimes, simply planning travel to cancer treatment appointments can be a difficult task. Your gift provides transportation support for people who are receiving lifesaving treatments. The gift of Give a Ride will help people with cancer focus on getting well and will help eliminate the worry of how they manage their travel.  

A Comfort Heart

Comfort Heart

The Comfort Heart is more than a beautiful pewter pendant crafted with love in Nova Scotia; it's a symbol of hope and support for someone affected by cancer.

Give a Comfort Heart to someone you love or buy one for you to enjoy. Tuck it in a pocket, place it on a chain, or simply use as a worry stone. These versatile charms are a thoughtful gift to let someone know you're thinking of them.

A home away from home

No one should have to go through cancer alone, but for some patients, the lifesaving treatments they require are outside of their community. Not only are they leaving their family and friends during a physically and emotionally difficult time, they are also leaving the comfort of their homes. A supportive environment can provide invaluable comfort during challenging times. This gift provides a safe, restful place for patients to stay while they are receiving treatment and gives them a chance to focus on healing. 


The Canadian Cancer Society Gifts are meaningful gifts that give twice. Your gift recipient will appreciate your thoughtful gift and you’ll be helping to change the lives of Canadians living with cancer.
