The Giving Garden Foundation provides financial assistance to cancer patients who reside in either Gloucester or Mathews County, Virginia. Such assistance may be for rents, mortgages, prescriptions, utilities, fuel, groceries and other expenses relating to treatment such as lodging. Living in a rural area often means limited resources which is what led our founders to bridge the gap between resources that exist and fulfilling the unmet needs of patients. In addition to providing financial assistance, we have built an online database of other local, state and national resources which are searchable to the public through our website. When we receive assistance requests from patients outside of our financial service area, we work with those individuals one-on-one to find resources for them in their respective locality. People should not have to worry about keeping their lights on, food on their table or a roof over their head while facing the battle of their lives.
