Impact Spotlight

Miss Jessie, as she is known at the FCS Tallahassee Cancer Center, was still living in her home that was badly damaged from Hurricane Michael. She was standing in lines at her local food bank, having difficulty paying her bills and was about to have her electricity shut off. All this while battling multiple myeloma.

“The first three years of chemo were incredibly tough and I’m not ashamed to tell you that I got behind on bills. I don’t make a lot of money, and I never have. I was about to have my lights cut off when my financial counselor told me that the FCS Foundation could help me. The Foundation and all the people that donate are angels on earth and are helping so many people, not just me.” — Jessie Thompson, Grant Recipient

“Miss Jessie has a spirit that lights up the room. She is always trying to make others feel good every time she walks into the clinic. It was a pleasure to help her, and you could tell she was relieved when her Foundation application was approved. Not having to worry about how to pay bills, like rent or utilities, absolutely helps patients in their healing.” — Becky Lollie, FCS Financial Navigator

The Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps individuals with their essential living expenses while they undergo treatment for cancer. Cancer patients are able to receive assistance from the Foundation for their non-medical bills, such as overdue rent, mortgage, utilities and car payments. This financial assistance immediately impacts cancer patients and their families in communities throughout Florida, allowing them to focus on their recovery.
