NCC Provides
NCC Provides helps people closer to home, here in the United States, who need financial assistance to pay for medicine or added expenses related to medical treatment.
You’ve probably heard a story like this one: a husband or wife is diagnosed with cancer or another serious disease. They have no insurance coverage, and both are forced to leave their jobs so the spouse can undergo treatment in another city. They can barely afford their medication, and there’s the added cost of transportation, lodging and meals. It happens all too often these days.
With your help, NCC Provides gives aide to these people—who have nobody else to turn to. We provide financial help grants and/or medicines required for the treatment of serious diseases such as cancer and hemophilia. Sometimes this is all that is needed to empower patients to continue their treatment and get healthy once again.
NCC Provides has also provided medicines for summer camps for children with serious diseases and worked with hospices to help enhance quality of life for terminal patients.
To date, over $2 million in resources has been provided to needy Americans through the NCC Provides program.
The different articles below are all about the NCC Provides program; learn more about this initiative by exploring the stories below.
