Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients

The Essential Needs Grant Program for Cancer Patients, part of the Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation in Greeley, CO, is dedicated to supporting individuals battling cancer by offering vital financial assistance for their basic daily needs. With the heavy burden of medical costs, we understand the challenges faced by both adult and pediatric patients during treatment. Our program is designed to ease these hardships, providing grants of $750 for adults and $1,000 for children, which can be applied for annually, with the possibility of renewal under special circumstances. We prioritize applications from those who are most in need, often those with limited medical insurance and incomes at or below the poverty line. Our monthly application process requires medical verification from treatment facility professionals, ensuring that we can effectively address the urgent needs of our applicants. For patients facing immediate crises, we also offer emergency grants that can be approved within 48 hours, based on a certified caseworker's recommendation. Our mission is to ensure that financial stress does not stand in the way of receiving necessary cancer treatment.
