Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients

The Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients, an initiative of the Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation in Burlington, CO, is dedicated to providing vital financial assistance to patients facing the financial burdens of cancer treatment. We understand that medical costs can impede one's ability to meet basic daily needs, which is why our program offers grants specifically tailored for both adults and pediatric patients undergoing active treatment or recently finished with their care. To apply, a medical verification must be completed by a healthcare professional, ensuring that assistance is directed towards those in genuine need. Grants are awarded monthly, with an emphasis on applicants who experience financial hardship, often lacking sufficient medical insurance and living at or below the poverty level. We prioritize applications based on medical and financial circumstances, providing one-time annual grants of $750 for adults and $1,000 for children. In urgent situations, our emergency grant program can deliver support within 48 hours, contingent upon a caseworker's assessment of the patient's pressing needs. We are committed to being a compassionate resource for cancer patients, helping them navigate their challenges by alleviating some of the stress associated with their financial burdens during this difficult time.
