The B+ Foundation Family Assistance Program
After spending 167 days living with Andrew in the hospital, we understand all too well how important it is to be with your critically ill child. For most of us, that means jobs, bills, and life outside the hospital come second. Unfortunately, we still have to find a way to pay those bills. That is why we provide financial help for kids with cancer through The B+ Foundation Family Assistance Program.
Our program gives qualified families money for expenses that are attributable to their child’s cancer diagnosis. The goal of the program is to lessen the financial burden so families can focus on helping their children get well. We often help families with the following expenses and bills:
Prescription medications that insurance won’t cover
Travel costs for treatments
Mortgage payments/rent
And more
To apply, reach out to your Social Worker to obtain the online application.
