The Problem

Health-related issues remain one of the most challenging conditions to tackle yet survival rates keep rising due to life-saving treatments. For instance, in the last decade, cancer patients have received expensive chemotherapy both alone and in combination. Although prices vary, prices in excess of $10,000 a month for treatment are common to cancer patients. Beside treatment, travel, lost wages, home care and caregiving can take a financial toll on patients.

The terms financial toxicity and financial distress are used to describe out-of-pocket costs that can cause financial problems for a patient. Out-of-pocket costs are what a patient pays for their medical care that is not covered by their health insurance. In fact, patients who get cured of their disease report spending more percentage of their annual income on medical care.

A person diagnosed of a disease is most likely to have less/loss income and assets, be in debt due to the cost of medical care, have trouble paying for housing, food and bills, declare bankruptcy, avoid doctor appointments or follow-ups, lower dose of prescriptions, skip recommended treatments.

Although there are some interventions to reduce financial toxicity, financial assistance remains the crucial and most important intervention.

There are several general, all-purpose personal crowdfunding platforms in the world helping people to raise funds for almost everything and anything, but none is focused on helping patients raise funds to cover their medical care.
