ABOUT US
Can Assist Blue Mountains was formed in 2007. Our volunteers raise funds to support patients treated or recovering from cancer and their carers, at a time when they may have reduced income and increased expenses. No one is alone and Can Assist Blue Mountains is ready to provide assistance for expenses such as utility bills, medical and household expenses, accommodation and in home assistance.

Timeline photosSurgery in Sydney (1,100km return), 4 treatments of chemotherapy, 17 treatments of radiotherapy and infusions every 3 weeks in Wagga Wagga (260km return) over a 12 month period meant Anna clocked up hundreds of hours of travel. The financial stress and the added emotional strain of being apart from family whilst dealing with a life-threatening illness can be overwhelming. Anna is now cancer free and is a regular volunteer for Can Assist.
