When Bills Threaten Treatment, We Step In
We help cancer patients get to treatment, stay in treatment, and recover with dignity. The Live Like Brent Foundation delivers direct, rapid financial support that removes the barriers standing between patients and the care they need.
Blood cancer treatment is uniquely demanding. Patients face 3-5 appointments per week for months or years. The day you're diagnosed is often the last day you can work full-time. Financial stress leads to missed appointments, delayed care, and interrupted treatment plans.
When we help with non-medical barriers — rent, utilities, transportation, food support — patients stay in treatment. And patients who stay in treatment have better outcomes.

From Request to Relief
What We Stand For
Every decision we make is guided by these core principles.
Immediate Impact
Approved requests are reviewed rapidly through a documented process, with payments issued directly to verified vendors on behalf of patients.
Dignity & Respect
Patients never apply directly. Social workers advocate on their behalf, preserving dignity during an already difficult time.
100% Transparency
Every dollar funds approved expenses paid directly to verified vendors on behalf of patients. We operate lean and publish our financials for all to see.
Living Brent's Legacy
Brent founded LLBF in 2012 after beating cancer. When it returned and he passed in 2017, his mission became our purpose.
How We Keep Patients in Treatment
When blood cancer strikes, the bills don't stop. Our streamlined system connects patients to approved non-medical relief through a rapid, documented review — so they never have to choose between treatment and survival.
We Partner with Hospitals
We establish Comfort Funds at leading cancer centers, giving social workers direct access to patient assistance resources — ensuring patients get help from day one of diagnosis.
Social Workers Identify Need
Hospital social workers use our dedicated software to identify patients at risk of missing treatment due to financial stress. One request can prevent weeks of missed appointments.
We Issue Funds Fast
Speed saves lives. Our team conducts a rapid, documented review of every request — because a patient waiting on rent can't wait for their next chemo session.
Bills Get Paid Directly
Payments go straight to landlords, utility providers, and other verified vendors on behalf of patients — removing the barrier completely. The result: patients stay housed, stay warm, and stay in treatment.
