Project Purple is dedicated to providing financial aid to patients in treatment for pancreatic cancer. Many patients become unable to work due to extreme fatigue, nausea, and other side effects caused my chemotherapy/treatment. Just because someone is diagnosed with cancer does not mean the bills stop. Project Purple is a lifeline for these patients. We assist with medical and everyday living expenses so patients can focus on the fight. We have never denied patient aid to qualified patients. If you or a loved one is suffering from pancreatic cancer, please see the information below about requirements to apply for the Patient Financial Aid program.
