For Patients
We do not accept applications or requests for assistance from individuals.
The staff of Caring Community Foundation work hand-in-hand with social workers at our partner hospitals in North Carolina for all referrals. If you or a loved one are experiencing a financial crisis while in treatment for cancer, we encourage you to share these burdens with your assigned social worker. They have access to numerous resources, including the Caring Community Foundation, to help you address unforeseen or challenging expenses.

Do you live in North Carolina?
-

If you answered yes to both questions but are not connected with a social worker, please contact your doctor's office to be connected with a social worker at your hospital or clinic.
