University funding

Hi there,

I'm new to this site. My Husband died from lymphoma in May of this year. It was very hard for my children 16 and 19 at the time. My daughter wants to study Veterinary Medicine or Veterinary Nursing at University and I don't have any money to help her. My husband died without life insurance, or money and I was medically retired from the Health Service so have only a small fixed income. Does anyone know of any Cancer charities that could help with funding? She will get some government help but it won't be enough when you factor in living expenses.

  • Hi Camlotte31b, 

    I'm really sorry to hear about your husband and on behalf of the Cancer Chat team I wanted to offer you our sincerest condolences on his passing.

    I've had a look around and have found that Macmillan have a lot of useful information and advice regarding financial matters like yours as you can see from this article on their website. They have financial advisers you can speak to as well so it may be worth giving them a call when you can on 0808 800 0000 to see what other help they can offer you.

    I hope this helps Camlotte and that you are able to find the funds you need to help your daughter go to university.

    Kind regards,
