The Good Samaritan Fund cannot assist with large hospital bills, medical bills in collections. The goal of the fund is preventative in nature.
The Cancer Care Fund can assist with household expenses while a cancer patient is in treatment. Examples include: rent or mortgage, utilities, car payment, insurance, travel expenses, food gift certificates and gas cards.
Who is eligible for assistance?
Those who live in Kosciusko County needing medical care that cannot afford the cost may be eligible. The funds do not operate by an income scale, but do consider if the applicant has the ability to afford it themselves.
