2. Apply for grants.
Track down grant programs that help cancer patients by searching the websites of organizations such as the Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition, CancerCare and Cancer.Net. The Patient Advocate Foundation’s My Resource Search app can help locate additional assistance through community groups.
TIP: Google the name of your specific cancer. Even if the website doesn’t mention a grant program, contact the organization to ask which other organizations you may want to reach out to for financial help. Include details about hobbies and goals in grant applications to stand out from the pack.
