You can help 100 people undergoing cancer treatment this Giving Tuesday
For some patients facing a life-changing cancer diagnosis, getting better isn’t their only worry. Unexpected expenses can add stress — and sometimes even become a barrier to receiving the care they need.
The Patient Assistance Fund is a fully donor-funded program that provides qualifying patients with financial support for essentials like travel, adaptive equipment and nutritional beverages.
That’s where you can help.
This Giving Tuesday, our goal is simple: help 100 people undergoing cancer treatment receive critical support during the holiday season.
And, all gifts will be matched up to $10,000 until December 1, 2026 thanks to the generosity of Bruce and Jane Graham.
You can help cover essential needs like:

for nutritional beverages to help with recovery

$100
for essential medical devices that make everyday activities easier

to provide a head covering that boosts comfort and confidence

$500
to fund a prosthesis that supports daily living and independence

$800
to provide a wig helping a patient feel more like themselves while experiencing treatment-related hair loss
Support beyond treatment
Behind every patient is a person and a family navigating the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. No matter the size, your Giving Tuesday gift can help make the journey a little easier by providing support for essential needs.

You Can Help People Like Linda
When Linda Scammell was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was a young mother with three children at home.
Treatment brought unexpected challenges — including the cost of travelling from Stratford to London for radiation and paying for the prosthesis, specialized bras and other supports she needed after her mastectomy.
For years, Linda paid these costs herself. Then someone told her about financial assistance available through the Patient Assistance Program.
That support meant one less thing to worry about during an already overwhelming time.
