Living pay cheque to pay cheque is a challenging way to live. Finding extra money to pay for the costs of having cancer can be next to impossible. Sometimes the added expenses are taken from the food budget and you use the food bank. Sometimes, you get behind on your rent. $1,000 will help a patient pay their landlord.
