Group support and friendship
"On behalf of the Rehab Care team here in Kilkenny we like like to thank The Marie Keating Foundation, and in particular, yourself and Melanie on an excellently delivered talk to the service users here in the Center. Staff noticed how well all the service users engaged in the talk, and we got some very positive feedback from individuals throughout the day." Seamus, Rehab Care
The hidden cost
The last thing anyone thinks of when they are diagnosed with cancer is the impact it has on them financially. But this impact can be huge and debilitating, and rather than being focussed on their health they are focussed on money worries.
The Marie Keating Foundation Comfort Fund is there when medical bills start to build up or traveling to and from hospital becomes too expensive. Our Comfort Fund is entirely funded by generous donations.
"There's things like car parking. It's very expensive to park at any of the hospitals. So patients, if you're there for a full day for chemo and you're paying a full day for that and the €80 fees. And the extra bits of medications that we have to get, all of those things add up. And for the most part, we wouldn't be working so you're on illness benefit or whatever package up until a certain amount. " - Niamh
