TESTIMONIALS
Shannon
38 yrs old
Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer Survivor
Being able to get the grant each year helps to pay some bills that need caught up on. Going in and out of treatments, surgeries, scans, etc., and having to put payments off and picking and choosing who gets money first gets tiring. The grant helps relieve some of that stress.
Britta
23 yrs old
Leukemia Survivor
I had no idea that the group I was joining would become one of the strongest parts of my support system. They understand me better than my friends and family.
Erik
Young Adult Co-Survivor
The socials are what really helped me. Being able to talk to others about what my wife had gone through helped tremendously to put things in perspective. I can't say enough about what YASU has done for me, my wife, and our relationship.
Financial assistance is available to help reduce the burden of financial toxicity during and after cancer treatment. After registering, someone will follow up to provide you with an application.
