Comfort Funds

So Patients Can Focus on Healing, Not Bills

A Comfort Fund is immediate, hospital-based financial support that removes the barriers standing between patients and the care they need. We cover rent, utilities, medication, and more — within hours, not weeks.

Your donation directly increases a patient's chance of completing treatment.

How It Works

From Request to Relief in Hours

Speed saves lives. Our streamlined process removes financial barriers before they force patients to miss treatment.

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 reviews requests and rapidly approves assistance. Usually within an hour, funds are available to spend.

04

Bills Get Paid Directly

Social workers pay vendors directly on behalf of patients: landlords, utility companies, and pharmacies. This ensures funds reach their intended purpose.

The Result: Patients Stay in Treatment

When basic needs are met, patients attend all appointments, stick with treatment protocols, avoid preventable ER visits, and focus on healing instead of crisis management.

What We Cover

Covering What Insurance Doesn't

Blood cancer treatment is uniquely demanding. Patients often 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.

The result? Bills pile up while income disappears. We cover the essentials that keep patients housed, fed, and in treatment.

Rent & Housing

Rent & Housing

When cancer treatment makes work impossible, we step in to keep patients in their homes. One month's rent can mean the difference between stability and homelessness.
