About On The Front Line Society

On The Front Line Society (breast cancer fund) provides short term financial assistance to Nova Scotian breast cancer patients, both women and men, who are in financial need. On The Front Line Society does not fund research.

Often, some of the most stressful realities of a cancer diagnosis are of a financial nature. Sometimes just coming up with bus fare and baby-sitting fees to get to chemo treatments can be difficult. A little bit of help can make a big difference.

 

Organization Goals:

pink dot To maintain free, confidential access to short term financial assistance for
women and men in Nova Scotia who have breast cancer and are in financial need.
pink dot To increase community awareness of our services throughout Nova Scotia.
pink dot To increase funding/volunteer efforts for our services throughout Nova Scotia.

 

Where does the money go?

The fund is available to offer help that can provide choices for people who feel trapped by their situation. If financial stress is affecting your quality of life, and there are no other financial resources available to you, we may be able to assist with short-term practical solutions. Some examples include:

pink dot home care pink dot therapies
pink dot child care pink dot housing
pink dot transportation pink dot medical equipment (e.g. lymphedema sleeves)

 

On The Front Line is also a proud sponsor of Breast Cancer Action Nova Scotia (BCANS) and
Bosom Buddies of Nova Scotia who provide support services to breast cancer patients in Nova Scotia.
