Financial Assistance for Breast Cancer Patients

The Ellie Fund is dedicated to providing essential financial assistance to breast cancer patients in Amherst, MA, and throughout Massachusetts. Through our Healing Together Patient and Family Care Program and Metastatic Breast Cancer Support Program, we offer vital services designed to ease the challenges faced during treatment. Our support includes grocery assistance, transportation services, light housekeeping, childcare reimbursement, nutritious prepared meals, acupuncture, and oncology massage therapy, all provided free of charge. To receive assistance, oncology professionals must complete and submit an application by the 25th of each month. Once reviewed, we tailor a personalized grant to support patients for up to three months. We encourage patients to reach out to social workers or patient navigators at their treatment facilities to initiate the application process and access the help they need during this challenging time.
