Shoalhaven BRANCH
Shoalhaven Region
Can Assist Shoalhaven was formed in 2010 and raises funds to provide financial assistance to people in our local community who are undergoing cancer treatment.
The Shoalhaven branch consists of a small group of people who enjoy fundraising together and are fortunate enough to be supported in their fundraising efforts by a number of local individuals and community groups.

We understand that families struggle to cope with a reduced income as a result of a cancer diagnosis and that they face increased expenses from travel, accommodation and medical costs.
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank our supporters for their contribution.
In 2019 we lost our long term member and good friend Bob Kells. It is because of Bob’s warm and engaging personality that many of us joined the committee. Over the years he was a keen organiser of fundraising events and in his spare time made and sold unique woodwork items, the proceeds of which he donated to Can Assist. Despite declining health, his enthusiasm never waned. Vale Bob.

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.

After more than 3 years of treatment, 50,000km or 500 hours of driving Tommy is now cancer free and fighting fit.
Childhood cancer is uniquely emotionally draining. The extra financial burdens for families living in rural NSW can be crippling – both parents and often extended family members needing to cut back or stop work all together to make the long journeys necessary for treatment, not to mention petrol and accommodation costs.
“We could not have gotten through without the help of organisations like Can Assist” Tommy’s Mum
