Emergency Financial Help for Families Facing Childhood Cancer
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, everything changes, including the family’s finances. From unpaid time off work to travel costs and mounting bills, families often face overwhelming stress just trying to stay afloat.
Rally Foundation’s Family Emergency Fund provides urgent financial assistance to help cover basic needs so families can focus on what matters most: their child.
Funding Details:
- Support for one patient has an annual (12-month calendar year) cap of $500 and a lifetime cap of $750.
- Funds will be used to cover a patient’s cancer-related medical bills or other family costs related to treatment (i.e., utilities, mortgage, rent, transitional housing, etc.).
- The Rally Family Emergency Fund is a grant with limited funds. Once these funds are exhausted, it is expected to be renewed the next grant cycle.
Patient Requirements:
- Be currently receiving treatment for a cancer-related diagnosis or side effects from cancer treatment.
- Not be over 21 years old.
- Submit a completed application through a social worker or hospital representative.
Application Requirements:
- The hospital representative must apply on behalf of the family and complete all sections of the form truthfully. Any false, incomplete or misleading information will result in automatic denial of the request.
A password is required to submit the application.
