This fund provides financial assistance for the daily living
needs of patients undergoing treatment. The diagnosis of cancer

increase in expenses not covered by insurance. Essentialliving
expenses can become burdensome during this time. The Efraimson-Sutphen

Sutphen, through their efforts and wishes to help patients during
this trying time.

unable to afford basic expenses while undergoing cancer treatment.
