Komen Financial Assistance Program

The Komen Financial Assistance Program in Chalmette, LA, is dedicated to providing essential financial support to individuals facing the challenges of breast cancer treatment. Our mission is to alleviate the burdensome costs associated with healthcare, ensuring that those in need can focus on their recovery without the stress of financial strain. We assist income-eligible participants with a range of expenses tied to breast cancer treatment, including housing costs, utility bills, side-effect management medications, transportation to appointments, and the necessary medical equipment. In addition, we offer support for child and elder care, nutritional needs, palliative care, and home health services. Each award amount is thoughtfully determined based on the individual's current stage of cancer, reflecting our commitment to personalized care during this critical time.
