The Karen Swanson Fund is available to help fulfill a special need or end-of-life request for those with active metastatic (stage IV) breast or recurrent ovarian cancer.

The fund is intended for special purchases that improve quality of life while living with cancer, not for medical treatment or basic living expenses. Grants have helped with purchases such as a comfortable chair, a trip to see family, and tickets to Disneyland. Limited funds available.

Clients must reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.

For more information about who is eligible and how to apply, please contact Veronica Perez, Financial Assistance Coordinator, at veronica@bayareacancer.org or (650) 326-6299 ext. 18.
