Financial Assistance
Whether it’s putting a meal on the table, getting to doctor appointments, covering copays, or managing unexpected bills, we’re here to help ease the burden. Our goal is to relieve some of the financial stress individuals face so they can focus fully on their treatment and recovery.
Types of Assistance
Money for Groceries
Gift cards for local grocery stores. Proper nutrition is essential during cancer treatment and families shouldn’t have to choose between medication and meals.
Paying for Co-Pays & Prescriptions
Direct payment assistance for medical appointment co-pays and/or prescription co-pays.
Paying Utilities & Essential Bills
Assistance with utility bills (electric, heating, water, etc.) to prevent service disconnections during treatment. Rent or mortgage assistance also offered.
Covering Gas & Transportation Costs
Gas cards to cover the cost of driving to medical appointments, chemotherapy sessions, radiation treatments, and follow up appointments.
Dinner Vouchers
Gift cards to area restaurants. Deciding what to make for dinner should be the last thing on your mind.
