Where can i get financial assistance due to cancer?

Question

i was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in september 07. I have since gone through chemo and radiation treatment and had surgery on the 28th of february 08. I developed problems after the surgery and have not been able to work but three weeks since september 07. I am a military retiree and most of the hospital bills have been taken care of but money for everyday living expenses such as rent,utilities.groceries has also ran out. Due to being a military retiree I am not eligible for any government programs and i was just wondering if someone had any information on any other programs that i could check into. I am not asking for a handout as i fully intend on paying any money i might receive for assistance back in full. thank you for any assistance in this matter

Answer 1

You could try using Fastweb, Its a website that you feel out tons of information about yourself(literally) and based on the information you give them, they will start returning a list of possible scholarship options. Some of them suck and some of them are good, but highly competitive. Have you already used your GI Bill? you'll get around $1100 a month with it.
