Giving Cash Contributions to Cancer Patients in Quincy, IL
At Blessing Foundation, we go above and beyond to help cancer patients here in Quincy, IL. We cannot do that important work without the help of generous donors. If you would like to be one of them, there are many ways for you to support our work and make life better for cancer patients and their families.
Types of Donations
We do more than just help patients with their hospital bills. When people get diagnosed with cancer, they can run into a variety of unexpected financial difficulties. That's why, in addition to cash contributions in Quincy, IL or direct help with medical bills, we also give our patients things like gift cards.
A gift card can help with a variety of expenses. We offer cancer patients cards that can help them pay for:
- The gas needed to get to and from appointments
- Groceries and healthy food
- A night out at a restaurant
A cancer diagnosis comes with all kinds of stress and financial burdens. These small donations can make an enormous difference in a patient's life.
A donation can also help a patient fulfill the end-of-life wishes. We've helped a patient who wanted to leave behind recorded storybooks for his family. We've helped patients who want to take trips and helped families throw giant birthday bashes for young patients who may not get to see another birthday party.
Anything that we can do to give financial aid to cancer patients and their families are on the table.
Creating Your Own Fund
Along those lines, we also allow people to create their own funds. You can decide exactly how you want your money to be used. You can use your fund to help cancer patients pay for previously mentioned costs like food, transportation, and medical bills, but those aren't the only things that cancer patients may need during treatment.
We have funds that help pay housing costs for patients. It's easy to fall behind on rent or a mortgage when you're going through taxing cancer treatments, but no one should have to lose their home because they got sick. Funds can also help with home repairs, something that would be easy to fall behind on for a sick homeowner. We have even had funds that help pay for new appliances when patients are in need.

Our foundation looks forward to helping even more people in the coming years.
