Kim's Hope · Application For Financial Assistance

APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED

At this point, we are not accepting new applications for financial aid. We are funded exclusively through the generosity of the donors who support us and in recent months, the requests for aid have outweighed our ability to fund those requests. Please check back periodically as we plan to be able to re-open the application process again in the coming months.

If you would like to connect with us on a non-financial basis, we would be happy to support you in prayer, talk about your journey with gliobastoma, and provide the emotional support that is often so difficult to find as a patient/caregiver dealing with GBM. Please email me directly at todd.veenhuis@kimshope.org or call (503) 577-3366 if I can be of any help in this regard.
