While you are tasting and supporting the Paige Fund, we hope you will read some of the incredible patient stories that have resulted from the generous support of donors like yourself. For those who are unable to join us in person, please consider donating.
Because your gift to the Paige Fund is a gift of hope.
The Paige S. Tibbetts Legacy Fund was established on a simple premise: no one should have to fight cancer on their own.
This fund provides grants to eligible young adults getting treatment at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. The grants help patients pay rent, cover child care, buy groceries — whatever it takes so they can focus 100 percent of their energy on getting better. Our goal is to provide a financial bridge to their recovery.
Patient Stories:
Diagnosis:A 28 y/o single woman diagnosed with Lymphoma and receiving chemotherapy. She started a new job at the same time she was diagnosed with cancer and wasn’t eligible for FMLA or paid time off from work. She needed to miss days from work because of chemotherapy, and therefore, had a decrease income.
Grant:Paige Tibbetts grant helped pay her rent so she didn’t fall behind and didn’t have the financial resources to pay on her own.
Diagnosis:A 27 y/o young man with brain tumor. He is not able to work at this time because of difficulties with balance and vision. He has now moved back in with his parents. He is paying for COBRA to continue his insurance which has make it difficult to keep up with his other bills.
Grant:The Paige Tibbetts fund helped to pay his student loan and car insurance.
Diagnosis:A 21 year old woman with a T cell lymphoma who was working three jobs to support herself prior to her diagnosis.
