Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition provides individual financial assistance to breast cancer patients through our Emergency Access Fund (EAF). The EAF pays for mortgages or rent, utilities, medical bills, and insurance premiums. Since its inception, the EAF has given $1,570,323 to 1,842 breast cancer patients and their families.
