The Challenge

Cancer treatment shouldn't mean financial ruin.

Every day, patients battling blood cancer face impossible choices: pay rent or keep the heat on, buy groceries or afford transportation to treatment. The financial toxicity of cancer is real, and it affects outcomes.

The Solution

A Comfort Fund at every cancer center.

The Live Like Brent Comfort Fund provides immediate financial relief to blood cancer patients, administered directly through hospital social workers who know exactly what patients need.

01

We Partner with Hospitals

We establish Comfort Funds at leading cancer centers, giving social workers direct access to patient assistance resources.

02

Social Workers Identify Need

Hospital social workers use our dedicated software to submit requests for patients facing financial hardship during treatment.

03

We Issue Funds Fast

Our team conducts a rapid, documented review of each request. Once approved, payments are issued directly to verified vendors on behalf of the patient.

04

Bills Get Paid Directly

Payments are made directly to verified vendors on behalf of patients — landlords, utility providers, and other approved vendors. This ensures funds reach their intended non-medical purpose.

“When I was diagnosed with leukemia, I couldn't work. The bills piled up. The Live Like Brent Foundation paid my heating bill so my family could stay warm during my treatment. That kindness gave me hope when I needed it most.”

Program Safeguards

Controlled, documented, and direct to vendors

Comfort Fund requests are initiated by partner hospital care teams and reviewed through a documented process. Assistance is limited to approved non-medical needs that can affect care continuity, such as transportation, lodging, utilities, food support, and housing stability. Payments are made directly to verified third-party vendors on behalf of patients whenever possible. Funds are not paid directly to patients, and LLBF does not replace insurance coverage, pay medical claims, or routinely cover cost-sharing obligations.

LLBF does not support, promote, or influence the use of any specific medication, therapy, provider, payer, insurance product, or pharmaceutical product. Donor and sponsor reporting is provided only in aggregate, de-identified form. LLBF does not share patient-identifiable information with donors, sponsors, pharmaceutical companies, insurers, or corporate funders.
