Family Reach is a financial lifeline for families fighting cancer.
Family Reach is a national organization dedicated to eradicating the financial barriers that accompany a cancer diagnosis, a widespread issue known as Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity (CRFT). We work with patients and healthcare professionals at more than 400 top-tier hospitals and cancer centers, striving to reach more families before they hit critical financial breaking points. Through our solutions-oriented Financial Treatment Program, nationwide events, strategic partnerships, and generous community support, we disrupt how cancer financially affects families.
The Problem
1 out of 3 Americans will experience cancer in their lifetime
Nearly ⅓ of families are unable to meet their basic needs because their child is in cancer treatment
Cancer patients are 2.65 times more likely to declare bankruptcy than those without cancer
Cancer patients who file for bankruptcy have a 79% greater risk of early mortality
