SAMFund Grants Fall 2024 Help 111 Young Adults
Expect Miracles Foundation (EMF) is thrilled to announce that 111 young adults have been awarded over $275,000 in SAMFund grants in Fall 2024. These grants are designed to alleviate the financial burdens faced by young cancer survivors, covering critical living expenses such as rent or mortgage payments, car loans, continuing education, and family building expenses like IVF, surrogacy, and adoption.
Navigating Cancer’s Hidden Costs
Young Adults Face Unique Financial Challenges
For young adults, cancer presents not only a physical and emotional battle but a financial one as well. At a time when many are just beginning their careers, striving for financial independence, and working to build a stable future, a cancer diagnosis can halt their progress. Treatment often requires time off work, which in turn drains limited savings – leaving survivors grappling with mounting debt. These financial struggles continue long after treatment ends.
SAMFund Family Building Grants helped supplement the enormous expenses related to fertility treatment, adoption, surrogacy or fertility preservation, one of the biggest stressors for survivors in the young adult population.
Survivorship can be a rocky road, with lasting financial and emotional challenges.
SAMFund Grants
A Lifeline for Young Adults Rebuilding After Cancer
EMF’s SAMFund grants offer a crucial financial lifeline for young cancer survivors during this transitional phase. By covering essential living expenses or assisting with family building expenses, survivors are able to regain their financial footing, so they can focus on their health, family, careers, and rebuilding their lives.
Through this unique program, EMF is ensuring that young adults who have faced the overwhelming challenges of cancer don’t have to fight alone in their journey back to financial stability. By relieving the immediate financial burdens, SAMFund recipients are empowered to focus on what matters most—continuing to thrive as they move forward with their goals post-cancer.
