At BCFO, our goal is to ease the financial worries of families facing breast cancer. Our financial assistance program helps pay for household expenses while a breast cancer patient is in active treatment. BCFO may be able to help you cover the cost of rent or mortgage payments, utility payments, car payments, car repairs, home or auto insurance, gas, or other necessary expenses. Please fill out this application to start the process. BCFO’s client assistance committee meets once a month to review and approve cases. All inquiries, applications and client information remain confidential.

not a hand out."
