Impact
At Valley Cancer Care Initiative, we believe that no one should face cancer alone. While we are a new organization, our mission is clear: to provide essential resources, financial relief, and compassionate support to cancer patients and their families in our community.
A cancer diagnosis is never planned for—it disrupts careers, strains finances, and turns daily life upside down. Many individuals find themselves juggling treatments, medical bills, and family responsibilities, all while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy. We exist to help ease that burden, ensuring that those facing this unexpected journey have the support they need to focus on what matters most: healing and time with loved ones.

Beneficiary 1
Earlier this year, a patient was diagnosed with breast cancer, undergoing surgery and radiation as part of her treatment. While she is doing well medically, the journey took a financial toll. As a hospital desk clerk, she lost several months of wages while in treatment, and despite having a strong support system, the unexpected costs—including meeting her out-of-pocket maximum—created significant financial stress.
Valley Cancer Care Initiative was there to help ease the burden, allowing her to focus on healing without the added worry of mounting expenses.

Beneficiary 2
Diagnosed with GI cancer 11 months ago, they faced an unexpected medical crisis that required emergency surgery. After a challenging recovery, they were able to return part-time to their job as a gym trainer, but the financial impact was significant. With months of lost wages and out-of-pocket medical expenses reaching $8,000, they were forced to put medical bills on a credit card while working to regain stability.
It’s a story of strength, perseverance, and the reality that no one is truly prepared for the financial strain of a cancer diagnosis. Valley Cancer Care Initiative was honored to step in and provide support, helping to ease their burden so they could focus on health and healing.

Beneficiary 3
They have been fighting metastatic rectal cancer that spread to the liver, enduring nearly a year of intensive treatment, including a lobectomy. Through it all, their greatest focus has been on their three young children. However, when their spouse lost their job—and with it, their health insurance—the family was forced to pay out of pocket for COBRA coverage, adding immense financial strain to an already overwhelming situation.
Facing hardship on every front, they have struggled to keep up with the mounting costs of both treatment and daily life. Valley Cancer Care Initiative was honored to step in and provide relief, helping them focus on what matters most: family, healing, and hope.
