We all know cancer is the word no family wants to hear.
This journey can be scary, stressful, and expensive.
Medical Bills
When bills pile up, anxiety runs high. No family struggling with cancer needs the extra burden of laying awake at night concerned about what new medical expenses may be coming their way.
Transportation
Managing cancer means A LOT of travel - doctors, treatments, procedures, support. There’s too much at risk for families to manage cancer without reliable transportation.
Everyday Needs
Facing cancer doesn’t mean you stop facing everyday needs to support your family. Juggling medical support and everyday financial needs can be overwhelming.
Ever wish you could do something to directly help a family facing cancer?
Here’s your chance.
Financial Relief for Families
One of the most impactful ways we support our families is through direct financial gifts. Families facing cancer often struggle with stretching their budgets to cover everything - how to put food on the table, how to ensure they have access to reliable transportation, and keeping up with their daily bills. We don’t require our recipients to jump through hoops sending us invoices, bank statements, or overdue bills. We say, tell us what you need, and we’re here to help.

Inner Beauty Salon
We are a benefactor of the Inner Beauty Salon, a specialty salon at Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center. Cancer treatments often have myriad unpleasant side effects, especially impacting patients’ hair, skin, and body. The Inner Beauty Salon provides a private, safe environment for cancer survivors to receive salon, clinical, and aesthetic treatments that help them look and feel amazing. No patient should ever have to tackle cancer treatment side effects alone.

Journeys made a bit easier by Scare Away Cancer

I'm 17-years old and was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I lost my hair in chunks and it was hard for my family and me to see. I found this wig at Methodist and it totally made me feel better about myself. Your donation helped my family so much; we are so thankful and appreciative for it. My mom and I both cried.

Thank you so much for the donation check I received today. Although none of us can snap our fingers and guarantee that my cancer is gone, this truly does help with the financial stress. My children and I genuinely appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your contribution to my fight against my mucosal cancer. I will be flying to Houston several times over the next year for my treatments. Your donation will help offset those costs.
