Working towards redefining the outcomes of brain cancer
Making A Difference—
Clinical Trials
&
NEPM Foundation is partnering with Family Reach to help people facing brain cancer afford food, housing, and transportation. Treatment requires more than medicine — families need a roof over their heads and gas in the car to survive. Founded in 1996, Family Reach is the only national nonprofit focused solely on helping people with cancer meet these basic needs.
Family Reach and NEPM are launching a Clinical Trial Access Fund specifically for patients enrolled in a clinical trial for a brain cancer diagnosis. Funding will help cover non-medical expenses, including mortgage/rent payments, utilities, groceries, and transportation.
““Patients need more than medical treatment. NEPM plays a vital role in helping us provide financial support to families dealing with brain tumors. Through their help, we can connect more patients to potentially life-saving clinical trials, offering hope and more moments with loved ones.” ”
NEPM’s Goals Are Steadfast:
Empowering Lives: Our partnerships are a testament to our shared commitment to make a positive impact in the lives of those facing the challenges of brain tumors and honoring Nancy’s memory. The grants are designed to reduce financial burdens, ensuring that patients can focus on their well-being and treatment with a bit less stress.
Holistic Assistance: The grants will be instrumental in addressing various aspects of patients' lives, encompassing not only immediate needs like food and housing but also crucial elements such as utilities and transportation. This holistic approach aims to uplift individuals and enhance their overall quality of life during this difficult period.
Community Support: NEPM recognizes the strength of community support. By joining forces with our donors and organizations like Family Reach, we aim to offer a a network of financial support to provide care for those with brain tumors that extends beyond medical treatment, fostering a sense of security among patients and their families.
Research Commitment: Working towards better patient outcomes remains a key focus for NEPM. We continue to seek out promising research initiatives that require further support and expect to announce a partnership in the second half of 2024.
Gratitude: NEPM extends our heartfelt gratitude to all those who support our mission. Together, we look forward to continuing this journey of healing, compassion and making a lasting impact on the lives of brain tumor patients.
