Questions from families
Who can ask for help?
The patient, a caregiver, or an immediate family member can write. Hospital social workers helping a family can also write on their behalf. The person in treatment needs to have a blood cancer: leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma.
Do I have to live in Virginia?
No. AES is based in Portsmouth, Virginia and supports families anywhere in the United States.
What bills can AES help with?
Utilities, childcare and elder care, prescription co-pays, medical bills, and other necessary household costs. Every request is reviewed case by case, based on need and the funds available.
How fast will I hear back?
AES is volunteer-run, so timing varies. Every message is read. If you have not heard back, email info@aescancerfoundation.org.
What documents do I need to apply?
None to start. A short overview of your situation is enough. AES may ask for more detail about the bill or the treatment before a decision is made.
Can I ask for help more than once?
Each request is reviewed on its own. If your situation changes, or a new bill becomes urgent, you can write again.
Can AES fund every request?
No. AES is a small family-run foundation, and what it can do depends on the funds available at the time. We cannot promise a specific amount.
What if my bill is due right now?
Tell us the due date in your message. AES cannot guarantee emergency turnaround, but knowing the timeline helps us read your request with the right urgency.
