Komen Financial Assistance Program

The Komen Financial Assistance Program in Patterson, LA, offers vital support to individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment by providing limited financial assistance to those who meet income eligibility criteria. Our mission is to alleviate some of the financial burdens that accompany cancer care, enabling recipients to focus on their recovery. The aid may be utilized for essential expenses including healthcare costs, rent and housing, utility bills, side-effect management medications, child and elder care, oral treatments such as chemotherapy and hormone therapy, transportation to and from treatment, durable medical equipment, lymphedema supplies, food and groceries, and palliative or home health care. The amount of financial assistance is tailored to the current stage of cancer, ensuring that help is directed where it is most needed during this challenging time.
