Application for Financial Assistance

Guidelines for families seeking financial assistance

Applications are accepted from any child in the U.S. under the age of 18, any type of cancer diagnosis, and from all income levels. Although Addi's Faith Foundation strives to help as many families as possible, we simply cannot meet every request and priority is given to Houston area, brain tumor patients, with a high financial need. AFF will consider grants up to $2,500.

On the 2nd Monday of the month, applications are sent to AFF's Family Financial Assistance Committee to review. The committee meets on the 3rd Monday of the month to discuss and approve grant amounts. Payments are made directly to the creditor within 2 weeks.

For your application to be reviewed, you must submit the following:

Application that is thoroughly completed by a parent or legal guardian. The more information you can provide the better. (Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.)
A patient confirmation letter from your doctor or licensed social worker on letterhead explaining the child's diagnosis, family situation, and treatment plans for the next 60 days.
Bills or account statements for which you are requesting assistance.
Child's photo. This is not a requirement, but we love to put a face with the name.

For more information, please email: info@addisfaith.org
