About Sprout Love
The Sprout Love Initiative at the Cancer Support Community raises funds for a Financial Assistance Fund that covers the basic living expenses for individuals experiencing financial hardship due to cancer and its treatment.
The Duke Cancer Institute found that 42% of participants reported a significant or catastrophic financial burden due to their cancer.
- 68% cut back on leisure activities
- 46% reduced spending on food and clothing
- 46% used savings to defray out-of-pocket expenses
- To save money, 20% took less than the prescribed amount of medication, 19% partially filled prescriptions, and 24% avoided filling prescriptions altogether
The Sprout Love Financial Assistance Fund launched in 2019; the fund has granted $250,000 to over 100 families experiencing financial hardship due to cancer and its treatment, including:
- $117,600 toward rent and mortgage
- $43,100 toward car payments and insurance
