When navigating a cancer journey, or any major health challenge, it's easy to constantly feel like you should be doing more. Handling everything on your own, staying strong for those around you, pushing through without showing vulnerability takes a toll. 

The truth is, sometimes, the best thing you can do is acknowledge where you are.    

Embracing the journey is just as important as getting through it. Every stage, from diagnosis to recovery, brings its own set of challenges. Recognizing when to ask for help is a powerful step. Instead of thinking of it as a weakness, a sign that you can’t, acknowledge that it’s ok to reach out.

It says a lot about courage, strength and self-awareness and is an important part of healing.  

For many, asking for help can make them feel embarrassed, or uncomfortable. That’s where we come in. Maitri’s goal is to change the way we think about asking for help, empowering those going through a healthy journey to take back control as they navigate this challenge. 

Whether it’s daily tasks, errands, or companionship, Maitri makes it easy to ask for what you need when you need it. Our app provides a simple, intuitive way to openly communicate and organize support, a way to help you bridge that gap between needing support and receiving it. Maitri empowers you to focus on what matters most. 

Challenges remind us there’s power in the community. 

Wherever you are on this journey, your friends, family and loved ones want to show up for you. There’s strength in coming together. Maitri makes it easier for people to organize, contribute, and lift each other up every day. 

So when you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember that great things come from vulnerability. Trust yourself enough to ask for help and accept it, this is where you need to be.
