For Amanda, Encircle has been a place of connection and belonging for the past four years. When she was recently diagnosed with cancer and began treatment, that sense of community became more important than ever.
At our Winter Warmer event, Amanda accessed a range of supports, but one moment stood out. Receiving a haircut as her hair began to grow back after chemotherapy helped her feel special, supported, and more like herself again.
Just as importantly, she spent time with familiar faces in a community that has embraced her throughout her journey.
As Amanda shared, "the staff always make me feel welcome, cared for, and connected. I don't know where I'd be without this wonderful community.โ
Stories like Amanda's remind us that sometimes the smallest acts of care can make the biggest difference.
