Cancer Support Foundation, Inc.
The Cancer Support Foundation, Inc. (CSFI), a non-profit 501(c)(3)organization,
provides quality-of-life solutions for cancer survivors and their caregivers. It was
founded by two cancer survivors in 2005. Our mission is to make sure that
everyone undergoing cancer treatment in the State of Maryland is able to maintain
stability in all areas of their lives. Most people realize that patients who lack health
insurance face tremendous financial problems. However, even those with health
insurance can quickly exhaust their financial resources, leading to the possibility of
losing their cars, their homes, and even their jobs. One cancer survivor put it this
way: “I beat the disease, but I lost my life.”
CFSI goes beyond other community resources to help those in need. We begin by
talking with each client to gain an understanding of their needs and then tailor
plans accordingly. We identify and refer to state and national program services and
we supplement as needed. The types of services we provide, as funds allow,
include:
• Referral to existing programs
• Eviction prevention
• Car payments
• Payment (or co-payments) for medicine and medical supplies
• Transportation
• Utilities
• Food and clothes
• Emotional support
This is a free service. For assistance in a supportive, caring environment, call us at:
CSFI has been very successful in providing clients with short-term services so that
they have a life to return to when medical treatment is successful. Since 2005, we
have helped more than 450 individuals. Funds are raised through individual
donations, fundraising events, and corporate sponsorships.
To help us continue to provide these services, you can send a tax deductible
