Every cancer patient deserves security, community, and hope for the future.

Immediate financial assistance
Our Patient Assistance Fund provides assistance for essentials such as child care, groceries, reliable transportation, and emergency rent.
Northwest Hope & Healing is the only organization in Seattle that provides direct, immediate assistance to breast and gynecologic cancer patients. No long forms, no waiting period.
