The Weersing Family Grant Fund

 

​

Our mission is simple. Financially support cancer patients at a time when they need it most. This mission has been made possible by the generous gift of the Weersing Family.

 

Thank you !

The Hawthorne Cancer Foundation exists to lessen the emotional and financial burden one experiences as one navigates through the treatment of cancer.

​

• THCF offers financial grants to qualified individuals who are currently undergoing cancer treatment. The applicant must reside or be receiving treatment within a thirty-mile radius of the Johnston-Willis Medical Center. The geographical range covers the Richmond Metropolitan and Tri-City communities.

• Healthcare professionals and credentialled social workers stand as "Advocates" of the patient and are required to submit and manage the grant application process on behalf of the patient.

• Grant recipients may utilize the funds for a variety of needs, including food, shelter, transportation, and related expenses. Payment of medical bills or prescription drugs is prohibited.

• Grant awards are limited to one per applicant, per twelve-month cycle. 

• Advocates are encouraged to become familiar with the FAQ's section on this page so they are prepared to answer questions by the patient applicant.
