Our cancer patient assistance funds help patients with the financial distress they can experience as they undergo the often lengthy treatments a cancer diagnosis involves. We have an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 by the end of the year to replenish and grow our cancer patient assistance funds. These dollars help pay expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, gasoline and more. There is a demonstrated need to increase not only the amount granted to each patient but how many patients we can assist. Learn more and donate today.
