Pink Stitch Testimonials: Bal Nanray

Some stitches mend fabric

CAYR mends hearts.

Through crafts, community, and kindness,

they’ve stitched wellbeing back into my life.

On days that felt heavy,

they gave me colour, conversation, and hope.

They do this not just for me,

but for families, for friends, for all of us learning to live fully again.

Every hexie, every ribbon, every thread

is proof that support can be soft, strong, and shared.

CAYR Charity has supported my wellbeing in so many ways.

Through craft groups, and connection with others, they’ve helped my mental health and given me a sense of community.

CAYR doesn’t just help individuals, they support families and friends to heal together as a community, so no one has to go through a cancer journey alone.

I’m grateful for the care, kindness, and hope they provide.
