Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients

In Canon City, CO, the Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients, part of the Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation, is dedicated to supporting patients grappling with the financial burdens of cancer treatment. We provide essential financial assistance to help cover daily living expenses for both adult and pediatric patients actively undergoing treatment or recently finished. Our grant application process is straightforward, requiring medical verification from treatment professionals such as social workers or nurses, with submissions reviewed monthly. We understand that many patients struggle with insufficient medical insurance and live at or below the poverty level, which is why we prioritize applications based on financial need and individual circumstances. Grants are typically awarded on an annual basis—$750 for adults and $1,000 for children—with the possibility of emergency grants approved within 48 hours in critical situations. Our mission is to alleviate the stresses of medical costs so patients can focus on what matters most: their health and recovery.
