Nelisha is a young woman who is incredibly ambitious, kind, reflective, thoughtful, giving and resilient. Her loved ones and strangers alike have experienced her kindness and unconditional support. Her passion for supporting others emerges in both her personal and professional life. She has spent over ten years working in the social services sector, servicing individuals with disabilities and complex medical conditions. Her determination to continue this journey of supporting others led her to pursue her Master of Social Work earlier this year.
Nelisha was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She is still going through testing to determine the stage of cancer. Since the diagnosis, Nelisha has been processing how cancer has and may change her life. At 34 years, Nelisha and her troops are suiting up for the battle of her life, with determination and resilience.
Due to her diagnosis, Nelisha is on medical leave from work and school. This changes her financial status to afford the resources she may need while undergoing treatment. Nelisha has access to OHIP covered services such as chemotherapy and medical treatment. However, many additional costs are not covered by OHIP or insurance.
It's our turn to support Nelisha; let's help by providing financial support while she kicks cancer. Cancer journey is an expensive one with unforeseen expenses. Some ways that donations can help:
- Cover health care costs. Over-the-counter medications, treatment shots, medication copayments, prescriptions, dental, massage and naturopathy treatment are expensive with insurance limitations.
 
- Cover living costs: Rent, organic groceries (recommended by a naturopath), controlled diet, food deliveries, masks and comfort items remain as basic needs while undergoing treatment.
 
- Cover mental health services costs: Battling cancer is overwhelming and can have significant stress and psychological impacts. Insurance coverage for counseling and coaching is limited.
 
All contributions will go directly to Nelisha. Along with a donation, please pray, hope and send positive healing vibes to Nelisha. While she might not be able to respond to your messages, she appreciates them; positive, uplifting notes go a long way.
We are in her corner, and we are in for this battle; please join us!
