THE SPIERINGS CANCER FOUNDATION FAMILY GRANT PROGRAM SUPPORTS CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ACROSS BROWN, CALUMET, OUTAGAMIE, WINNEBAGO, AND WAUPACA COUNTIES WHO ARE FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP DUE TO CANCER. TREATMENT BRINGS BOTH INCREASED EXPENSES AND REDUCED INCOME, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO AFFORD EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS. THESE GRANTS EASE THE EVERYDAY COSTS THAT QUICKLY ADD UP DURING CANCER TREATMENT, SUCH AS HOUSING, UTILITIES, TRANSPORTATION, AND GROCERIES. GUIDED BY JIM SPIERINGS' BELIEF THAT NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE, THIS PROGRAM IS A WAY FOR NEIGHBORS TO TAKE CARE OF NEIGHBORS, ENSURING LOCAL FAMILIES HAVE ONE LESS WORRY ON THEIR PLATE WHILE FACING CANCER.
