FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Beyer Cares Foundation receives many applications for financial assistance from individuals and families affected by cancer. Our Board reviews each case need and strives to provide support for every request. Everyone typically thinks about the financial burden of treatment, but forgets the everyday living expenses that do not stop because of cancer. We aim to take care of these costs through gift cards, food donations, bill pay assistance and cash gifts. Beyer Cares also offsets cancer travel expenses through lodging or gas cards. With everyone we support, we provide professional resources through the American Cancer Society. You can help support these individuals by donating today.
Their Stories. Our Why.
Diagnosed at 39 with stage IV inflammatory breast cancer, this devoted wife and mother of four has faced an aggressive battle that reshaped her family’s life. What began as a misdiagnosis became a fight for survival marked by intensive treatments and overwhelming emotional and financial strain. When Beyer Cares stepped in, the support offered more than financial relief. It gave her husband room to breathe and reminded the family they were not alone. Through generosity and prayer, they found renewed strength to keep going.

Survivor
Diagnosed at 34 with stage 2B testicular cancer, Evan is a devoted husband and father of three whose life changed almost overnight. Surgery and intense chemotherapy quickly became part of daily life as his family navigated treatment while caring for young children, one who has a brain tumor. Through physical hardship, he found renewed faith and strength in a community that surrounded them with prayer and support. When Beyer Cares stepped in, the assistance provided financial relief, breathing room, and reassurance during an overwhelming season, helping his family focus on healing, togetherness, and hope.
- Evan Wasser
Survivor
Married for 30 years and proud parents of two daughters and a grandson, this couple has faced a challenging season after Bill’s rare cancer diagnosis. In 2024, he was diagnosed with anorectal mucosal melanoma, followed by months of radiation and the discovery of a kidney mass requiring ongoing care. As treatment brought financial and emotional strain, Beyer Cares provided support that offered relief and encouragement. The generosity and prayer surrounding them helped this family focus on faith, healing, and moving forward together.
