Support organization
New Day pays critical everyday living expenses for Michigan households that include a parent or guardian and at least one dependent when an immediate family member is in active cancer treatment. Payments may cover rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance, transportation, fuel, childcare, and grocery support and are made directly to creditors or through food and gas support. The household must show financial hardship or income loss caused by cancer, and the application must be submitted by an oncology social worker, financial navigator, or medical professional. The family starts by completing the Household Expense Worksheet and providing it and supporting documents to the referring professional.

Resource Directory
New Day's public directory links cancer, grief, food, pediatric/AYA, retreat, and social-service resources. Listings are external and New Day disclaims control or warranty, so each third-party program requires separate verification.
Topics: cancer resources, food, grief, pediatric and AYA support, retreats, social services
Guide
New Day curates books for adults, children, tweens and teens, parents, caregivers, grief, and faith-based needs, including childhood-cancer and parent-with-cancer titles. The public list is available to anyone; the separate up-to-three free-book benefit is limited to financial-support families.
Topics: caregiving, childhood cancer, coping, family communication, grief
Video
New Day's free 2021 workshop recordings cover money management, self-advocacy, burnout, anxiety, caregiving, grief, PTSD, and caregiver self-care. The undated 'Money Matters — Coming soon' text does not establish a current 2026 live event.
