The Caring Community Foundation

Description

• Our Mission: The Caring Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides financial support to cancer patients in need by providing assistance with rent, utilities, treatment or other expenses that become difficult to manage during cancer treatment. Our Program and Progress: Established in 2001 by a Cary breast cancer survivor and her husband, we have processed over 2500 patient requests helping to change their lives. The foundation provides timely financial assistance to cancer patients who are experiencing some kind of economic distress while undergoing their cancer treatment. We have created a network of social workers in hospitals and clinics within the Triangle and surrounding areas, area that have been trained by our Patient Liaison volunteers on how the foundation can assist cancer patients. Electronic requests from social workers detailing the particular financial need of a cancer patient are submitted and reviewed for approval. Payments are then sent directly to businesses, landlords, utility companies, etc. The simplicity of our business model is one of the hallmarks of our program. The Needs We Address: We focus on quality of life issues while a patient is undergoing treatment. By providing financial support to cancer patients who have fallen behind on covering the day to day costs as a result of being out of work during their treatment, we provide hope and a lifeline. Our service is to provide timely financial assistance with minimal paperwork. The disruption to a cancer patients job or their caregivers job causes the entire family to fall behind on the basic necessities of life adding one more layer of stress and fear to their already overwhelmed lives. We work to alleviate, in a small way, some of these financial burdens. To the best of our knowledge, no other organization in the area provides this type of assistance. The Caring Community Foundation is a volunteer based organization. Volunteers are our lifeline!
