Breast cancer doesnβt just take a physical toll. It takes a financial one too.
When someone is in treatment, the last thing they should be worrying about is how to keep the lights on or pay rent. But for so many patients, that is exactly the reality.
If you are supporting a loved one through a breast cancer diagnosis, here are three financial assistance programs worth knowing about:
Pink Aid offers emergency financial assistance to breast cancer patients in treatment within 48 hours. When time matters, this program moves fast. https://pinkaid.org
Susan G. Komen Financial Assistance Program helps cover both treatment-related costs and essential living expenses. They can be reached at (877) 465-6636, Monday through Friday, and Spanish-speaking support is available.
The Pink Fund provides short-term support specifically to help cover household bills and living expenses during active treatment, because no one should have to choose between chemo and keeping a roof over their head. https://pinkfund.org
