Lightening the load for cancer survivor Tanya


At Hot Cares, we often come across stories of resilience, but Tanya’s journey truly touched our hearts. Tanya, a dedicated personal assistant and the go-to person in her office, has faced and triumphed over two battles with cancer. Despite her incredible strength and positivity, she now faces a mountain of medical bills totaling R16,916.63—expenses that her medical aid could not cover.

These costs include blood tests, hospital stays, theatre costs, medications, and specialist fees, and have already been handed over to debt collectors despite Tanya’s efforts to arrange a payment plan. The financial strain, on top of the emotional and physical toll of her health battle, has been overwhelming.

Recognizing Tanya’s courage and the positive impact she has on those around her, Hot Cares, with the support of One Insurance, is stepping in to cover the full cost of her medical co-payments. This support will not only relieve her financial burden but also allow Tanya to focus on her recovery and well-being.

Tanya’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and community. By helping her, we’re not just paying off medical bills—we’re giving her the space to heal and continue being the amazing, supportive person her colleagues and loved ones rely on. Hot Cares is proud to stand by Tanya, supporting her as she rebuilds her life with the same strength and positivity that inspires us all.
