Direct Financial Assistance

The Cancer Alliance of Help & Hope’s (CAHH) Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA) program exists to support the physical, economic, social, and personal needs of vulnerable uninsured Palm Beach County residents as they or a family member face a distressing cancer diagnosis. Although our other initiatives assist the cancer patients directly, the EFA program specifically targets the entire family unit. Thus, 75% of our clients are not suffering from the disease and are a close loved one and/or caretaker of the afflicted. We recognized the need for additional support to the entire family unit as often times the patient is the only focus of many organizations and initiatives. Removing the stress of being able to feed your children, keep the family vehicle, or whether your spouse or parents can afford rent due to the cost of your illness is instrumental in reducing stress in the patient.
Primarily we focus on families already facing vulnerabilities before their loved ones receiving the diagn
