At 18, Tara was diagnosed with cancer. At an age full of opportunity and excitement, Tara was not only facing the physical effects of cancer, but the emotional ones too. While her family grieved her diagnosis, she felt guilty for causing them pain, leaving her feeling confused and alone.
Through Canteen’s Individualised Support Model, Tara was able to understand her needs and access the support that worked best for her. Now, at 21, she’s grown so much, and it's amazing to see the confident person she is today. Now, she’s a leader, driving change to support young people like her, experiencing cancer.
Our support services are only available thanks to our compassionate donors, and we can’t thank them enough for their kindness.
