Program
Our Mission is to provide financial support and resources to individuals and families affected by breast cancer, ensuring access to necessary treatments and services regardless of financial barriers.
Costs related to breast cancer care can quickly become a financial burden.
You may get many bills for just one procedure. For example, you may get a bill from each department in the hospital involved with your surgery such as the lab (pathology), surgery and others.
Even if your co-payment for a single bill is low, these costs add up. Out-of-pocket costs (such as transportation) may also add to this burden.
Carla’s Ribbon of Life offers the Carla’s Ribbon of Life Financial Assistance Program to eligible individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment at any stage.
With this program, we aim to help those who are facing financial challenges by providing: limited financial assistance, support and information about local resources
