MISSION OF FOUNDATION:
TO ASSIST YOUNG ADULTS (18-26)WHILE THEY ARE UNDERGOING THEIR CANCER TREATMENT.
Please be a part of our mission to help these courageous, young adults who have unique issues facing them but have no place for help.
One of the biggest challenges these young adults and their families face is health insurance coverage. Once they turn 18, they are either working full-time and carry their own insurance or must be a full-time student to be covered under their parents insurance.
While undergoing treatment(s), they are not physically or mentally able to carry the work-load of full-time classes, which is a requirement to maintain full-time student status.WITHOUT THE “FULL TIME STATUS” THEY AREN’T COVERED AND CAN BE DROPPED.
Another major challenge is that 90% of young adults face
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, at 18 years of age they are told up front about the severity of their cancer prognosis.
In our case our son was 19 and was told he had 9-12 months to live.
These are just two, of a laundry list, of issues not being addressed for this specifc age group of cancer patients.
