Support Local Cancer Patients

Your gift makes a difference for nearly 800 cancer patients and families every year by helping provide critical wraparound resources and support.

Here are just a few examples of how, when you donate to CancerLINC, you help stabilize cancer patients and families in Richmond and provide peace of mind during vulnerable, difficult, and uncertain times:

  • Individualized case management for each patient’s unique needs and circumstances to ensure that their time and energy is focused on their health.
  • Access to a large network of assistance and referrals for patient’s basic needs: food, housing, and utilities.
  • Long-term planning for accumulating medical debt and development of strategies for financial stability.
  • Education and counsel about workplace rights from an employment attorney.
  • Legal referrals to address issues such as insurance denials, SSI/SSDI, eviction, guardianship, bankruptcy, medicare/medicaid, and debtor’s rights.
  • Notarized life planning documents such as wills, powers of attorney, and advanced medical directives.
We provide more than $2.50 in professional legal and financial help for each $1 donated (1)
