We have been stretched in many ways and challenged like we have never been before — in our ability to change quickly and pivot to meet the new and ever-changing needs of those facing cancer and those who support them, in our determination to succeed against all odds, and in how we interact and communicate with one another to bring <strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>HOPE</span></strong> to every day. Not a flood, a pandemic or a fire destroying over 90% of our organization could take that away from us.<br></span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><br></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>The past and current state of the pandemic kept us from in-person programming and services, but we didn't let that be a hurdle for us from keeping those facing cancer informed and engaged with the vast array of supports and programs we offer. Counselling, peer-support groups, wig fittings, yoga and gentle exercise programs, educational seminars — too many to mention, all took place virtually and online. As a result, we have seen a significant and dramatic increase in the usage of our services.</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><br><br></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Relationships were strengthened with our medical and community partners to bridge the gaps so that no one in the cancer community was left behind. HopeSpring staff and volunteers worked tirelessly day and night adjusting how we delivered our services and resources, transformed with new delivery methods and technology, while always responding and communicating with respect, sensitivity, and kindness to the changing needs of cancer patients and their caregiver support in our community, in our province and in our country. We supported anyone who reached out, no matter the location - <strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>HOPE knows no boundaries</span></strong>. </span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><br><br></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Looking to 2022 and beyond, we have transformational plans in place and meaningful projects we want to accomplish in the 'new normal'.

We want you to know that we understand at HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre that you may not be able to support us financially this year. We will not think of you any less as we know prioritizing to support yourself and/or your family is the most important thing in these unsettling times. If by chance, you happen to find an extra dollar, some spare change, or are blessed with some funds you wish to share, and you think of HopeSpring, we would be truly grateful.
