NYOH Community Cancer Foundation
Financial Assistance
The NYOH Community Cancer Foundation provides financial assistance and other resources to individuals diagnosed with cancer. By paying for rent and household bills or providing gift cards to purchase gas and groceries, we help people living with cancer focus on their treatment, instead of worrying about daily household stressors. The Foundation also supports limited patient education and patient workshops.
To receive financial assistance, individuals must meet the following criteria:
Have a cancer diagnosis and received treatment within the past 12 months
Live in the Capital District, as defined by: Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, and Washington counties
*Funds are limited and based on available funds raised by the NYOH Community Cancer Foundation. At this time, applications for financial assistance are submitted on the patient’s behalf by NYOH staff and medical providers only.
“I have been struggling with cancer, sometimes I have good days and bad days. I would not survive without your help I did not have food at home, I am out of work because the cancer got me out of work and I live by myself. Again, thank you so very much for the gift cards.”
