About this project
We work together with Canadian Cancer Society to organize fundraising events to help people with cancer and their families across Canada.
We are coordinating with Shraddha Charity Organization, (SCO) Sri Lanka and the College of Anesthesiologists & Intensivists of Sri Lanka to organize medical equipment fundraiser to help Sri Lankan hospitals. Donating essential medical equipment will empower our health care workers to be better prepared to reduce the death rate and provide better care for patients.

Donating to Canadian Cancer Society through 2019 Daffodil Campaign
In April 2019, we organized a fundraising event to help people with cancer and their families across Canada through 2019 Daffodil Campaign of Canadian Cancer Society. We were able to make this practice even more gratifying by purchasing daffodils from Canadian Cancer Society to intertwine this spiritual practice with a life saving effort. Daffodils were air shipped from Nova Scotia as the order placed by WeCareForYou was too large to be satisfied within Ontario. Kind people donated CAD $ 1800 towards the noble goal.
Ms. Anna Thomas, the Revenue Development Manager of Canadian Cancer Society appreciated the kindness towards humanity saying," Thank you so much for your generous donations during our 2019 Daffodil Campaign. Funds raised through our Daffodil Campaign are changing lives for the better. With your support, we can help people with cancer see life beyond their diagnosis. Your donations will help fund ground-breaking research into more than 100 types of cancer, programs and services that help people with cancer and their families across the country and allows us to advocate to governments on important cancer-related issues to drive important social change and funding. Again, thank you so much for your generous donations, and helping us prove that life is bigger than cancer."
