Based in Sterling, AK, the Komen Financial Assistance Program is dedicated to providing crucial support for individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment. Our mission is to offer limited financial assistance to income-eligible individuals, helping alleviate some of the burdens associated with treatment. Funds can be used for a variety of essential needs including healthcare expenses, rent, utility bills, medications for managing side effects, child and elder care, transportation to treatment, durable medical equipment, lymphedema care, and even food assistance. We understand that every case is unique, which is why the assistance amount is tailored based on the individual’s cancer stage, ensuring that our support addresses the immediate needs of those we serve with care and compassion.
