Komen Financial Assistance Program

The Komen Financial Assistance Program in Shishmaref, AK, is dedicated to providing vital financial support to individuals facing the challenges of breast cancer treatment. We understand the financial burden that can accompany this journey, and our program is designed to assist income-eligible participants with essential expenses related to their care. Award funds can be used for a wide array of needs, including healthcare costs, housing, utilities, medications for managing side effects, transportation to treatment, durable medical equipment, and even groceries to ensure nutritional support. By alleviating some of the financial stress that comes with breast cancer, we aim to empower our clients to focus on their health and recovery, helping them navigate this difficult time with dignity and support.
