CRITERIA FOR APPLICANT REVIEW AND SELECTION

I.          Residency and Treatment

            Applicants must be residents of Miami-Dade County, Florida, and have been diagnosed with breast cancer and be within two months of breast cancer surgery (mastectomy, lumpectomy, auxiliary lymph node dissection or sentinel node biopsy) and/or currently undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy or gene therapy.  

            Additionally, an applicant may qualify for consideration based on combinations of the following financial criteria:

II.        Income

            Applicant’s total household income at the time of application must be equal to or less than the median household income level for Miami-Dade County (based on the most recent year’s statistics published by the State of Florida or Miami-Dade County, $37,148).

            In addition, total household income from all sources (including wages, retirement, pension, alimony, worker’s compensation, Social Security, disability insurance, etc.) does not meet the sum of all obligations for the applicant’s determined treatment period.

III.       Assets (we will consider the following)

            A.        Total liquid assets (cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.) are less than the sum of all financial obligations for the determined treatment period.

            B.        Patient owns no secondary real property or other liquid real or personal property.

            C.        The actual value of your home does not generally exceed  the median home prices for single family units sold in Miami-Dade County.

IV.       Application Review   

            The Foundation will then conduct a review of each individual’s financial situation to determine the greatest need.  To this end, each applicant is asked to disclose and prioritize exactly what support they are asking for.  The Foundation will interview the applicant, the applicant’s physician and the applicant’s social worker, if any, to understand the full scope of need.  The Foundation will then determine what funding will be required to meet the applicant’s most basic needs to survive the treatment period with as decent a quality of life as possible given their circumstances.

            In summary, there are three steps involved with application review.  First, qualified applicants must demonstrate they are in the midst of treatment for breast cancer and must have need for financial support.  Second, a patient must meet applicable income and asset guidelines.  Third, the Foundation will conduct interviews with candidates for aid, their physicians and social workers, and other persons involved in patient’s care.
