Samantha Robichaud

Samantha Robichaud's story has touched the hearts of Nova Scotians.

Samantha is the 14 year old girl featured on the front page of the Sunday Herald.

She has bone cancer, the same type Terry Fox had,and a very tough fight ahead of her.

But it's the struggles she has already faced that has made her story so sad.

Her stepfather is her primary caregiver.

Money is tight and Samantha has taken the bus to the city by her self to receive treatment.

And she only has a grade six education because she has often had to stay home to care for her siblings.

Samantha' stepdad, Garnet Thacker, tells CTV the attention she has received since her story ran in the paper has been good for her.

Those wishing to support Samantha may send donations to a bank account that’s been set up at the RBC branch at the Halifax Shopping Centre. The account number is 03353 5208454 and is in the name ITF Samantha Robichaud.
