The Kelly Heinz-Grundner Brain Tumor Foundation is pleased to announce that it has recently launched a pilot financial assistance program as a way to assist brain tumor patients and their families who are struggling with two battles – one against the disease and one against the financial burdens associated with the disease and treatments. The purpose of this initiative, which has been dubbed the ”Whatever It Takes Initiative,“ is to level the playing field and empower patients to engage in the battle against their brain tumor with sufficient resources and to enable them to enjoy precious time with their loved ones during their overwhelming journey.
Fortunately, when Kelly became ill, her husband, Chris, had the kind of job and circumstances that enabled him to fully join Kelly in her valiant fight and to take advantage of the time they had together. We, at the Kelly Heinz-Grundner Brain Tumor Foundation, believe that everyone deserves this same opportunity, and have worked diligently to create an application process that enables patients and their families to apply to the Foundation for financial assistance.
Sadly, due to limited funding and overall resource constraints, the Board of Directors was forced to put some parameters in place for the pilot/test program. Specifically, applications will be restricted to residents of the following geographic areas and also applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If you would like to find out more about the parameters of the “Whatever It Takes Initiative” or to obtain an application, please call Program Chairperson, Diane Freed at 302-427-2280 or you can also email Diane at diane.freed@khgbraintumorfoundation.org
If you are not in the aforementioned geographic areas and therefore are ineligible for our program, the following is a list of other organizations that offer programs that may be able to help you.
