Eligibility Guidelines

The following serve as the core requirements:

  • The child or young adult (ages birth to 26) must have a cancer diagnosis.

  • The patient must be treated in our geographical regions (as defined by our races) or reside in these areas.

  • The patient or family, through the social worker or resource manager, must demonstrate hardship related to the financial impact of their loved one’s cancer treatment.

  • The patient must be on active treatment or within one year of treatment.

  • The patient or family must be represented by a healthcare professional (e.g. social worker, resource manager) who has a good understanding of how a grant will impact a family’s financial stability going forward and can serve as a liaison to verify the patient’s medical information and the family’s need for financial assistance.

Seeking Assistance?

JUST TRYAN IT does not provide direct grants to individuals. Families must be in treatment at one of our seven partner hospitals and they must apply through their social worker.

Expenses Covered

Dealing with cancer can be very challenging for families—emotionally, physically, and financially. The JUST TRYAN IT Family Assistance Fund provides support for everyday living expenses. We help families cover essential costs, including:

  • Everyday needs (including mortgage, rent, car payments/insurance, utilities, etc)

  • Transportation costs to hospitals and treatment centers

  • Day care and other costs incurred when parents are required to be away from home to care for a child in treatment

  • Treatment-related lodging costs for patients

  • Home care and palliative care costs incurred by families when bringing a child home from the hospital

  • Additional costs incurred for special needs not covered by insurance or other expenses that will enable parents to focus on their child getting well
