Happy holidays from all of us at The Lung Association of Saskatchewan! 2020 has brought a multitude of changes and this holiday season is certainly not immune, as we find ourselves spending more time at home and shrinking our 'bubbles' due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving. Thanks to generous donors like you, The Lung Association of Saskatchewan has been able to assist those living with a lung disease to breathe easier. We have also helped thousands of families in Saskatchewan test their homes for radon, preventing exposure to the second leading cause of lung cancer, and continue to provide education and support for our health care providers - many who work at the front lines and behind the scenes of this pandemic. Below, you will find four meaningful ways to support our work this Giving Tuesday, or throughout the giving season.

From our family at The Lung Association to yours, please continue to take good care, stay healthy and stay safe.

Caring Breaths Financial Assistance Program – The Gift of Giving

In 2020, The Lung Association of Saskatchewan has delivered the gift of financial support with our Caring Breaths program. We have assisted Saskatchewan patients who are struggling with the financial implications of lung disease.

We also delivered masks to St. Mary’s Pediatric Clinic in Saskatoon to help keep the staff and patients safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the end of 2020, we expanded criteria to bring financial aid to those in need of radon mitigation systems who struggled to afford this service.

Thank you to our generous donors and our sponsor Conexus Credit Union. We look forward to continuing all of these efforts in 2021.
