“Thank you both. When I told him about even just the possibility of getting approved for this grant, he sobbed. Like literally sobbed. He had me and the front desk crying with him. Jeepers.”

testimonials

"The Dalfen Fund is a tremendous resource to our patients here at Texas Oncology. The amount of financial assistance provided through this grant is not only extremely generous but can also have a life-changing impact for our patients. I recently had a patient facing eviction who was provided a grant to not only catch him up, but also paid for several months of rent allowing him to get ahead.

For the first time in years, this patient does not have to worry about having enough food to last until the end of the month or going without a prescription. The financial toxicity that comes with a cancer diagnosis is devastating to so many patients. We are so thankful for the support the Dalfen Fund has provided our patients here at TXO."
