Cancer doesn’t just affect the body—it weighs on the heart. For women travelling from rural communities to Edmonton for treatment, the journey is often filled with fear, loneliness, and the feeling of being far from everything familiar.
At Sorrentino’s Compassion House, we offer more than a place to stay. We provide warmth, support, and a sense of belonging that helps women feel grounded during one of the hardest times in their lives.
Your donation helps provide something every woman deserves during treatment: a place that feels like home. Not just for the holidays, but whenever they need it most.
When you give, you’re providing more than a room. You’re offering warmth, care, stability, community, and a place where women can rest, heal, and feel supported throughout their cancer journey.


At Sorrentino’s Compassion House, community shows up in meaningful ways, and this December, generosity goes even further.
Thanks to our generous friends at Suncor, every donation made this month will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000. That means your kindness has twice the impact in supporting women who must travel to Edmonton to receive cancer treatment.

Every woman who walks through our doors is met with more than a place to stay. She’s welcomed into an environment designed to ease the weight of treatment and bring a sense of home (not just) for the holidays. At Sorrentino’s Compassion House, support shows up in many forms, and it begins with three essentials: comfort, care, and community.

Affordable accommodations that offer everything she relies on at home, and more. From a fully equipped industrial kitchen to cozy, private suites, women have the space to rest, cook, and settle in during treatment.

Women can bring a companion for support, and enjoy free shuttle service to the Cross Cancer Institute and other nearby amenities. This practical care lightens the load and makes each day a little easier.

Women connect with others walking similar paths, creating a space where conversations flow easily, understanding comes naturally, and no one has to face treatment alone.
