Before you start, check you fit

  • Your child is 18 or under.
  • A caregiver cannot qualify solely because a child has B-ALL; the oncology patient must already have an active HealthWell oncology grant.
  • Household income must meet the published 500% FPL guideline and assistance is limited to $2,000 per 12-month grant.
