Imagine hearing the words, “You have cancer”.  Now imagine a life full of doctor appointments, numerous tests and fear and wondering if you are going to be ok.  As bad as that all is, imagine losing your job, not being able to pay your rent or mortgage or wondering how you can pay for heat or electricity.  This, is what some of the patients we help deal with on a daily basis.

If you got into this business to help people, the Dana Farber Financial Coaching program may be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have.

Responsibility: You will meet with the patient/family to discuss the various strategies to help them. All meetings are currently being held virtually.

Dana-Farber Financial Coach Training

You are called to volunteer for a very unique and worthwhile volunteer opportunity! In a collaboration with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, volunteers will provide pro bono education or financial planning to patients and/or their immediate family caregivers who could not otherwise afford a planner. Some of the primary areas of concern for cancer patients and their families include debt, health insurance, government benefits, estate planning, and budgeting. To date, over 500 patients have been matched with coaches!

If you would like to participate in the training, please email admin@fpama.org
