Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

ME SQUARED CANCER FOUNDATION HELPS ADULTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED CANCER IN THE DFW AREA BY PROVIDING CANCER RELATED EDUCATIONAL AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO EASE THEIR JOURNEY AND TO GIVE THEM HOPE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO CANCER PATIENTS IN NEED.

  • ME SQUARED CANCER FOUNDATION PROVIDES SUPPORT TO NEWLY DIAGNOSED CANCER PATIENTS IN THE DFW AREA. EVEN WITH HEALTH INSURANCE, THE FINANCIAL BURDENS OF A CANCER DIAGNOSIS CAN BE DEVASTATING. MANY PATIENTS WE WORK WITH HAVE DEDUCTIBLES AND OUT OF POCKET LIMITS AS HIGH AS 8,500 AT A TIME WHEN THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WORK. OFTEN THIS LEAVES THEM WITH THE DILEMMA OF EITHER PROVIDING FOOD AND SHELTER FOR THEIR FAMILY OR PAYING FOR THE CARE THEY NEED. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. IN 2022, WE PROVIDED 539,588 IN AID TO 199 NEWLY DIAGNOSED CANCER PATIENTS, INCLUDING 18 WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE. OF THAT AMOUNT 91% WENT TO PATIENTS EARNING LESS THAN 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE. PAYMENTS ARE ALWAYS MADE DIRECTLY TO TREATMENT PROVIDERS. IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF A CANCER DIAGNOSIS, PATIENTS ARE OFTEN EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED AND FEEL ALONE DURING HOSPITAL STAYS, CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS, AND RADIATION TREATMENTS. ME SQUARED PROVIDES "CARING BAGS" TO PATIENTS UNDERGOING TREATMENT TO HELP KEEP THEM COMFORTABLE AND THEIR MIND OCCUPIED WITH PLEASANT ACTIVITIES. PATIENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH A BAG THAT INCLUDES A WARM BLANKET, A WARM HAT, SOCKS, HAND SANITIZER, AND FACE MASKS. THE BAG ALSO CONTAINS AN INSPIRATIONAL, BOOK, A JOURNAL, AND ACTIVITES TO KEEP THEM OCCUPIED. THE BAGS ARE DELIVERED IN BOXES DECORATED BY YOUNG WOMEN FROM LOCAL NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE CHAPTER TO HELP CHEER UP THE PATIENTS AND LET THEM KNOW THAT OTHERS CARE ABOUT THEM. DURING 2022 WE DELIVERED 334 CARING BAGS TO PATIENTS AT A TOTAL COST OF 8,252. PATIENTS ARE ALWAYS DELIGHTED TO RECEIVE THE BAGS AND ALWAYS TELL US HOW MUCH RECEIVING IT RAISED THEIR SPIRITS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
