Why financial support?

For thousands of families nationwide, a cancer diagnosis means taking time off work, falling behind on bills, and wondering if they can afford to keep the fridge full. At Family Reach, we believe in a world where no family has to choose — do they pay their rent or their copays? Groceries or gas to the hospital? Electricity or medications?

Surviving cancer requires more than medicine — families also need a roof over their heads and food on their tables.

When financial support is part of cancer care, we level the playing field and improve health outcomes nationwide.
