Program Approval
While we desire to approve all applications promptly, applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and take up to eight (8) weeks to review and process your application. All programs are subject to the availability of funding, goods, and services. We are currently limited to supporting so many families a month, but with your help, we can provide even more assistance!
Not all applications are automatically approved, as this program is designated to assist those in financial distress and need. If you do not receive an email confirming or denying your eligibility within eight weeks, don’t hesitate to contact info@fightingcancertoday.org or call 618-922-0585. Our organization is 100% run by employees and volunteers who are cancer survivors, caregivers, and supporters. We appreciate you looking to Fighting Cancer Today as a resource, and we will respond to all inquiries in the order they are received.
