Financial Assistance for Breast Cancer Patients

The Ellie Fund is dedicated to providing compassionate financial assistance to breast cancer patients in Melrose, MA, and throughout the state. Through our Healing Together Patient and Family Care Program and Metastatic Breast Cancer Support Program, we offer essential support services aimed at alleviating the challenges faced by individuals undergoing treatment. Our comprehensive offerings include grocery assistance, transportation, light housekeeping, childcare reimbursement, nutritious prepared meals, acupuncture, and oncology massage therapy, all designed to ease the burden of treatment. Applications for assistance must be completed by an oncology professional and submitted by the 25th of each month, allowing us to tailor personalized grants that provide up to three months of support. We encourage patients to seek help from their Social Worker, Patient Navigator, or Resource Specialist to initiate the application process and access the resources they need during this critical time.
