Getting a cancer diagnosis is bad enough. Worrying about paying bills during treatment is even worse. The Betty Kearns Cancer Fund can help.
The Fund has been quietly giving money to cancer patients to help them with expenses. They recently reported giving out $16,000 over the past year.
The Betty Kearns Cancer Fund is trying to raise awareness of the fund so that cancer patients know its out there to help them. The money is available to all cancer patients, with any type of cancer, and who are getting treatment anywhere.
Most financial assistance grants are $1000, but larger grants can be given for extenuating circumstances. Several of the past year’s recipients used the grants for pre-planning their final expenses, which eased their minds quite a bit while dealing with cancer.
Applications for the Betty Kearns Cancer Fund assistance can be found at the Community Foundation of St. Clair County website <HERE> . Applicants must reside in St. Clair or Sanilac County.
The grants are meant to help cancer patients with daily living expenses so they can focus on their health and healing.
