EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (PINK PURSE)

For Financially Insecure Breast Cancer Patients.

Pink Aid is the only national organization providing compassionate support and rapid emergency financial assistance within 48 hours to breast cancer patients in treatment.

The Emergency Financial Assistance Program was created in direct response to the dire, country-wide epidemic of significant unmet needs among patients who were not only struggling with their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, but with its significant financial ramifications.

SOCIAL WORKERS MUST SUBMIT ALL APPLICATIONS.

Please note our Pink Purse is open Monday – Thursday 9am-5pm EST and Friday 9am-12pm EST. Please do not submit applications after business hours as our system will not recognize and/or accept the application and therefore will not be reviewed. Kindly submit applications during our open hours as the pink purse is here to help.
