A Helping Hand When I Needed It Most
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when I was 68 and went through 12 months of radium and chemotherapy. Whilst I was recovering from breast cancer, everyday tasks felt like climbing mountains — especially cooking. The fatigue, the treatment side effects, the emotional toll… it all adds up.
That’s when Meals on Wheels stepped in.
Every day, a warm, nutritious meal would arrive at my doorstep, delivered with a smile and sometimes even a short chat that lifted my spirits more than they’ll ever know.
It wasn’t just about the food (though it was delicious!). It was about the care behind it. My husband had recently passed away from cancer and the comfort of knowing someone was looking out for me during one of the most vulnerable times of my life was a blessing.
Thanks to Meals on Wheels Sandgate, I could focus on healing — body, mind, and soul — without worrying about how I’d get through dinner.
I’m forever grateful, thank you.
