Christmas Without Cancer Assistance

Support may be granted on a one-time basis, contingent upon the specific needs assessed by a representative of
Christmas Without Cancer. Applicants will be evaluated only if all criteria are satisfied and all necessary
documentation is provided. Noncompliance will result in an automatic rejection of the application. As a local
nonprofit organization that relies entirely on donations, our budget varies each month. Consequently, we cannot
guarantee assistance.

• Patient must reside in Illinois and be seeking treatment in Illinois (within a 30-mile radius of Oak Lawn, Illinois 60453).
• Patient must be in ACTIVE cancer treatment.  Active treatment is defined as “in surgery and follow-up surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.”  Individuals who have completed, declined, or discontinued treatment are not eligible for assistance from Christmas Without Cancer.
• Healthcare provider (physician, nurse, social worker, etc.) must sign the patient’s application form and MUST include a letter on facility letterhead confirming that the patient is in ACTIVE cancer treatment.
• Application MUST include a CLEAR photocopy of your valid Illinois Driver’s License or State I.D.  A guardian applying on behalf of a child or ward must submit a photocopy of their own valid Illinois Driver’s License or State I.D. A Guardian applying on behalf of a ward must submit a copy of the Letters of Guardianship.
• Application form must be completed in full and submitted via mail, email, or fax.
• Assistance will not be received without the patient’s direct knowledge except in circumstances where the patient is a minor child or an incapacitated adult.
