Recipient story
You could help change someone’s life in Nyngan (cancer is expensive) by easing the financial burden of cancer treatment
First Nations Support
GIVIT
Nyngan is a small town, some 170 km North West of Dubbo with a population less than 2,000 people. Relatively small amounts of money can go a long way. There are only two local Doctors in Nyngan and needless to say no specialists. Cancer patients requiring radiation (typically daily and up to 6 weeks) will need to travel to either Orange (a 600 km round trip) where there are incidentally only two linear machines, Sydney (over 1,000 km round trip) or Newcastle (also over 1,000 km). Chemotherapy is closer at Dubbo at a 340 km round trip. Not surprisingly, we spend close to 70% of our assistance in Nyngan on travel and accommodation. We currently have approximately 50 clients on our book, some of which we have been helping for over 12 months through remission and relapse.
