Support organization
Leukemia Texas serves leukemia patients of all ages across Texas. Its Patient Aid program offers a one-time need-based check of up to $1,000 for living costs, food, treatment travel, uncovered medical expenses, and utilities, but applications were explicitly closed on August 24, 2026 with no reopening date. People may email the Patient Aid team with basic details to request notification when funding returns, which is not a guaranteed waitlist or application. The separate Buddy Cares program distributes plush bears, encouragement cards, hospital comfort packs, and personalized travel suitcases through mail and hospital partners. Buddy Cares is actively described, but there is no public recipient application, current hospital list, schedule, or inventory guarantee. Other blood cancers are not currently eligible for Patient Aid; pediatric B-ALL fits because it is leukemia.
Improves the lives of Texans with leukemia through direct patient assistance, hospital comfort outreach, and Texas-based research funding.
Statewide one-time Patient Aid checks and hospital- or mail-distributed comfort items for Texans with leukemia of any age.
