Financial & Legal Assistance

At The Gathering Place we are very fortunate to work with local, professional volunteers who offer pro bono services. These services lessen the burden caused by cancer, addressing your questions and concerns about legal and financial issues.

We have professional finance volunteers standing by to answer your questions. Some topics our volunteers will discuss with you include, but not limited to:

• What about credit card debt, student loans, mortgage payments, rental payments, or car payments impact me during treatment?
• Are my financial documents in order?
• Does my health insurance provide me maximum care? How do I maintain my coverage if I am unable to work? What other benefits may I be entitled to? Or what benefits may I lose while I am in treatment?
• If I am over 65, does my medical coverage change with Medicare? What does Medicare supplemental coverage do for me? How does Social Security influence my care costs?
• Help with understanding our financial position as it relates to expenses due to cancer.
• How do I/we/our family re-adjust our financial “plan” during our cancer journey?

Reach out today to Eileen Coan to set up a discussion about your financial concerns.

The Gathering Place is glad to offer our participants one free legal consultation for concerns that come up related to your cancer diagnosis. These may include writing a living will, estate planning, or power of attorney.
Contact Eileen Coan to set this up.
