Coping with additional costs
Cancer Society Nelson Tasman understands that a cancer diagnosis can come with unexpected financial pressures. Our Patient Support Grant is designed to provide short-term assistance to individuals with cancer and their immediate whānau who are experiencing hardship as a direct result of the illness.
The grant is flexible and aims to support people during a time of adjustment to their changed circumstances. In special cases, support may still be considered after the person with cancer has passed away.
How to Apply
You can be referred by your doctor or oncology nurse, or you’re welcome to self-refer by contacting our Centre.
