Make a meaningful impact by becoming a Guardian Angel.

What if you couldn't afford the proper nutrition needed to help build enough strength to begin cancer treatment? 

Some of our neighbors fall into what's known as the coverage gap - earning too much to qualify for Medicaid, yet living paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford their medical expenses. The Compassionate Care Fund helps these eligible patients by providing access to stay well, which may help with transportation, prescriptions or medical equipment. 

Help our neighbors in need.

Greg's Story

When Greg rapidly became ill, he never anticipated the need for tube feedings to sustain his health. But as months passed by, weakness took hold. He could not afford the nutrition needed to help build his strength so he could begin his cancer treatment. That’s when a Health First case manager reached out to the Foundation for a lifeline. Greg received a Guardian Angel Grant from the Compassionate Care Fund. 

Joe's Story

When Joe Graham found out he had laryngeal cancer (a type of cancer that affects the larynx or voice box), he knew he could be “worried, angry, or stubbornly positive.” Joe was determined to be positive, but when the person he thought he could count on for support could not cope with his diagnosis, he was left without rides to his appointments. Because of the Compassionate Care Fund, all that changed.
