    Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to The Cancer Foundation of Northeast Georgia for us? They offer up to $1,000 per calendar year for housing costs, utilities, insurance, vehicle costs or rides, food, medical equipment and supplies, and funerals requested before death, and it has to come from you. Their page is here: https://thecancerfoundationinc.my.site.com/

Tell me what you need from me and I’ll bring it to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.

    What to bring to the meeting

    • Current income documentation for all working household members covering the most recent 6-8 weeks, such as pay stubs, bank statements, benefit award letters, or tax returns as applicable.
    • Government ID or utility bill showing the patient's name and address in an eligible county; a P.O. Box alone is insufficient.
    • Most recent currently due and unpaid bill or notice for every requested expense, showing amount due, due date, account reference, and payee information.

    What happens next

    • Complete the secure portal application and upload the gathered documents.
    • The provider or counselor submits the complete application package to The Cancer Foundation on your child’s behalf.
    • Use the Client Portal to check status and request grant payments; contact the assistance team if the portal or document review stalls.

After your care team sends it
