Our Community Partners
We are proud to partner with these organizations to help people living with cancer find the support, resources, and information they need.
Bloom Again Foundation
The mission of Bloom Again Foundation is to provide rapid-response financial assistance for living essentials to working women living at or near the poverty level when medical challenges stretch their already limited resources. We are committed to supporting you during these challenging times.
Recognizing that healing can take up to 40% more time when stress is placed on the patient, the Bloom Again Foundation seeks to alleviate some of the stress caused by financial concerns so that women can return to work as soon as possible. We achieve this goal through strategic partnerships with community agencies that identify women in need of financial assistance that will facilitate emotional and physical recovery and healing, helping you to look forward to a brighter future.
Should you need financial assistance, we encourage you to take these steps:
- Look at the strategic partnerships list to determine if you are being served by one of them.
- If your strategic partner is not listed, please reach out to your case manager and ask them to request to become a strategic partner with us. If your strategic partner is listed, please request that they complete an application on your behalf.
- Once the application is completed, the turnaround time to review the application and reply to the strategic partner is within 48 hours.
- If the application is approved, the check is distributed within 72 hours.
