About grandmaturtles

grandmaturtles started this conversation

I live on a disability through my employer and I have made it some way with paying my rent, utilities and so on and so forth.  I admit I have to frequent some food banks to make ends meet, but for the most part, I can get by.    In my spare time ( and I have lots of that...), I've been helping other newly dx'd people who have the same cancer as I do, since I'm not able to return back to work, I thought this was a goodthing for me to do as giving back, or paying it forward, if you will.  I have also gone to Lansing and around the country to speak with other foundations about the need  for free screnings( cancer) for all no matter what your income is or what your insurance allows, to many folks are losing thier battle with this disease and we all need to make or find a cure soonso no one else has to lose a loved one from this disease.

I have a friend who has taken abanded animals in and now, she neds help with food for these little guys, is there a program in Wayne county, Michiigan that can help?  I heard of this before, but not quite sure where to start looking  any ideas?

For information about financial assistance for those with cancer and here it just a bit of what it on the site as there is more

 Financial Assistance

We know the financial burden of cancer can be great. So, for more than 60 years, we have provided limited grants for certain expenses related to treatment. Our financial assistance program is one of the longest running and best regarded in the country.

In order to qualify, you need to provide CancerCare with information about your income, savings and expenses, and in some cases provide invoices for the cost of service. Your healthcare professional must also provide information on your cancer. Download our financial assistance application in English PDF or en español PDF .

Please be aware that our grants are not for basic living expenses such as rent, mortgages, utility payments or food. Please contact your local United Way to find out if they offer a 211 referral line to find resources that can help.

Below is a description of our programs available to people nationwide.

Hope this helps you 

Wishing you the best
