Cancer is frightening, treatment is physically draining, and the financial burden is overwhelming. Medical bills, utilities, and groceries were becoming increasingly difficult to afford.

The Icla da Silva Foundation provided financial assistance that played a significant role in this woman's CAR-T cell therapy. Her entire family benefitted from the support.
