Your support will go directly to patients in need.
Battling Cancer is Only Half the Battle
It takes much more than medical care to survive.
Housing
The cost of cancer care is overwhelming. Too often, patients even find themselves unable to pay to keep a roof over their head. We provide financial help for housing so patients can prioritize care and treatment.
The economic toll of cancer hits some patients even harder, leaving them short on funds to keep the lights on. We ease their financial burden by assisting with utility bills while they focus on healing.
Survivors refuse to accept that cancer means death. They focus on healing, not just on fighting the disease. Learn how choosing your emotional response and staying optimistic can help you get well.
If ever a reason to start eating better, cancer is it. From grocery lists to meal plans to what to clean out of the kitchen, we offer information that can help you eat with awareness – and turn nutrition into medicine.
Medicine is critical to effective cancer care, but it is only part of the equation.
Surviving Cancer Requires a Holistic Approach
Cancer Recovery Foundation is rooted in the belief that surviving cancer requires caring for the whole person. The Cancer Recovery Wellness Pyramid illustrates this philosophy.
In addition to medical care, the pyramid emphasizes the importance of nutrition, attitude, exercise, support and spirituality to cancer care and recovery.
We offer resources to cancer patients in each of these areas, empowering them to address their disease with a holistic approach.
Every day, we hear from patients who are struggling to pay basic household bills because of the burden of cancer. Far more people ask for help than we have help to give.
This needs to change.
We are committed to reinventing ourselves to ensure that more people get the assistance they need.
While we continue to rely on donations from individuals to provide direct support to patients, we are doing so in more efficient, technology-driven ways.
Additionally, we are developing partnerships with socially responsible businesses to meet patient needs.
Cancer Recovery Foundation counts on generous individuals to support its programs to help patients survive cancer. However, individual donations are insufficient to meet people’s need for support. To close this gap, we are forging partnerships with businesses that wish to fulfill a social mission.
