The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) is committed to providing assistance to patients of all ages throughout New England who have fallen on financial hardships as a result of a cancer diagnosis. JAF understands that crucial living expenses are not put on hold because of a diagnosis, and JAF’s variety of assistance programs are specifically targeted to help patients who are struggling to make ends meet.
Because patients and families must often devote all of their energy and resources towards battling the disease, the Foundation helps alleviate financial and emotional stress by providing grants to assist with rent/mortgage payments, utilities, and other household expenses. This relief allows the Foundation’s grant recipients to focus on their fight against cancer and not on the financial distress that comes with it.
