The Shaw Cancer Center Patient Assistance Fund Offers Hope

A cancer diagnosis presents both physical and emotional challenges. Our Shaw Cancer Center Patient Assistance Fund offers relief for those experiencing financial hardship, covering essential non-medical expenses such as rent, utilities, car payments, repairs, and groceries.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our benefactors, last year we were able to award grants totaling $72,634 to 27 patients. These funds have been pivotal in helping our patients navigate one of the most trying times of their lives.

Every gift to the Shaw Patient Assistance Fund sends a powerful message of hope and solidarity to cancer patients. Your support ensures they can focus on their recovery without the added stress of financial burdens. Together, we are making a profound difference in their journey to recovery.

One grant recipient shared:

“I am humbled by your generosity. The gift cards for both gas and food are extremely appreciated. When your world is consumed with doctor appointments, pain, and an unpredictable future, the last thing we want to worry about is the basics. The Shaw Patient Assistance Fund has been a huge comfort as we fight the extremely difficult cancer battle. Words can’t express how grateful we are. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
