This Star Won't Go Out - Financial Assistance - Non-Profit Organization

Details: This Star Won't Go Out is a non-profit foundation serving families with children diagnosed with life-threatening cancer. Often families have no choice but to cut back on work in order to care for their child. Bills can become another stressor when families are already overwhelmed by fears for their child's health. TSWGO assists families with financial gifts that can be used for medical expenses, items needed by the child with cancer, or bills like rent and utility payments. Requests for financial assistance begin by complete these two forms. The application should come directly from a health care professional, and must include: information about the child (ages 0-26) diagnosed and in current/recent treatment for cancer; the application signed by the family and a healthcare professional; a letter of advocacy written and signed by the social worker or appropriate healthcare worker; details or copies showing how the grant will be used. These grants will be evaluated and approved based on available funds on a monthly basis; any applications which we cannot approve during the current month can be resubmitted at a future time. While we will assist children diagnosed with cancer in treatment across the nation, New England will remain at the top of our fulfillment list. Additionally, we will consider no more than one or two applications per health care facility each month -when our funds are limited, only one family's application will be considered in a month. You are always welcome to send a quick email or call to find out about the current availability of funds. If qualified and approved, please note that the award check will go directly to the parent and address listed on the application form. If it is preferred that a check be sent either in your care to hand out directly, or endorsed directly to a bill that is due, please be sure to include this information in your letter and to specify recipient and address. Assisting families struggling with the financial stress that results from caring for a child with cancer is a big part of our mission. While we are a small organization, we are so glad to have helped over 200 families since 2011, with gifts totalling $300,000.
