Please Help Save Our Cancer Lodge

Courtney's Story

My dad has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Being a country police officer we were unable to receive the medical help that was needed in his small home town. We had no choice but to make the long journey to Shenton House in Joondalup for his radiation treatment.

Having a 3 week treatment plan,  we were worried about the travel and cost of accommodation. It was then bought to our attention that a kind lady names Jo ran a Cancer Lodge in Two Rocks WA where we were able to stay for free due to each patient being covered by PATS (Patient Assistant Transport Service).

Jo has made the lodge free to cancer patients to take the financial stress away so that the stay at the lodge is peaceful and relaxing, A real home away from home.  Jo also provides free transport for patients who are recieving treatment at Shenton House in Joondaup.  

Unfortuntately the financial stress has not been lifted off Jo.  Alot of people that are suffering cancer are not even aware that the lodge exists, therefor resulting in a lack of income for the lodge. Jo is finding it hard to keep her head above water.  Jo's biggest fear is that she will be unable to pay the mortgage and bills that come along with the lodge which will then result in her losing her home.

This lodge is run purely from love and Jo's will to help people suffering with cancer. She has put her heart and soul into this lodge and to the commmunity. For the people that have stayed at the lodge in the past will know the feeling that i am feeling. Walking into this lodge and seeing Jo and her husband Ron welcome you with open arms really makes you feel at home and makes you feel safe. I know that many of us would be devastated to see the lodge closed down due to lack of funds.

There is still so much love to give and we all want the best for our family and friends especially the ones suffering with such an awful disease. That is why i have created this fund me page. If we could spread the word about Jo and her Cancer Lodge and donate whatever we can to help take the financial stress away i know we can keep the lodge running.  Jo and Ron are counting on us all. Thankyou all very much for your support.
