Support organization
Cancer Cartel provides direct financial relief to people with any cancer so they can focus on recovery rather than everyday costs. Its Warrior Grant is a one-time, unrestricted $1,000 award issued directly to the patient and may address rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, gas, transportation, childcare, or another greatest financial need. Patients and families cannot apply themselves: a licensed social worker, case manager, or patient navigator directly employed by a hospital or treatment center must use the brief monthly portal window and upload physician diagnosis documentation. The portal fills within minutes, accepted submissions do not guarantee funding, and review can take up to 90 days. The next published opening is October 1, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, while pediatric/minor payment rules and several treatment-status details remain unpublished.
