Program information

Blood Cancer United is committed to helping patients access their treatment in a timely manner and created the Urgent Need Program, in partnership with Moppie’s Love, in 2018.

Thanks to our partnerships with Subaru of America and its retailers, Charlie’s Fund, and the Moore Family Charitable Foundation, the Urgent Need Program continues to provide eligible patients with assistance for non-medical expenses including rent, mortgage, lodging, utilities, childcare, elder care, food, transportation, car repair, car insurance, phone service, and acute dental work related to treatment. Eligible patients will receive a grant of $500, once within a 12 month period. At the end of the 12 month period, healthcare professionals can reapply on behalf of patients.
