Asking for Financial Assistance

Who do I ask for Financial Assistance from when family and friends do not want to help me?

  1. we appreciate you reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having to go through this. I included an article that speaks about managing healthcare expenses here - https://advancedbreastcancer.net/cost-resources. We have another article on health resources, that I thought may be of interest - https://advancedbreastcancer.net/health-resources. Have you inquired with your oncologist's office about any possible resources they may have or if they have an oncology social worker? They may be an excellent resource and have beneficial information for you. Lastly, I included a link to American Cancer Society's hotline information - https://www.cancer.org/about-us/what-we-do/providing-support.html. They have a phone number you can call to inquire about the financial assistance specifics you are in need of. Hope this information helps! Hugs, Jessica, Team Member

    1. Thank you for the information and yes I have and only 2 have help me the rest is out of funding until next year.

      1. Hi friend! I’m here with some more resources. Here’s an article my wife wrote about the funding we have used (https://advancedbreastcancer.net/living/cutting-expenses). If they aren’t mentioned in here, there are foundations such as bright spot network for families, families raising hope for rent help and help with bills, and the atrium foundation helps with bills as well: https://advancedbreastcancer.net/living/what-cancer-has-stolen. This article from Kate also outlines a ton of different places to look for financial help. Sending you some love!
