Our Mission

Dedicated to helping low-income brain cancer patients get the treatment they deserve.

No patient should ever be denied treatment due to financial constraints. The Thompson-Mason Brain Cancer Foundation was founded to help low-income brain cancer patients and their families with the cost of traveling to seek the best medical treatment possible, including gas cards for fuel, reserving and paying for hotel rooms, and making sure they never go hungry.

We also aim to help low-income patients pay medical bills for services provided at cancer treatment facilities, and to provide financial assistance to caregivers of patients in the final stages of their battle with cancer. When the patient's treatment and condition allow, we would like to finance a memorable family vacation, handling every detail of the trip.

Our Goals

How we hope to help

Travel Expenses

No patient should ever miss out on the treatment they deserve because they can't afford to get there. We cover gas, hotels, and meals.

Medical Bills

Lack of insurance or out-of-pocket money should never be the reason a patient doesn't receive proper treatment at a cancer facility.

Financial Assistance

Caregivers of patients in the final stages of their battle deserve support too. We provide financial relief so they can focus on what matters.
