The Baiardi Foundation understands the financial difficulties oncology patients encounter during their treatment. The Baiardi cancer patient assistance fund will provide Karmanos cancer patients with financial assistance during their cancer journey. This assistance will enable our patients to focus on their cancer treatment as well as recovery instead of worrying about their finances. The fund will focus on the following areas for assistance: grocery cards, dietary supplements for cancer patients under treatment, gas gift cards, patient transportation to/from their appointments, patient assistance – utilities (gas, electricity, water), and telephone/cell phone, patient assistance – rent and mortgages, home care visits, and home infusion visits.
