When was the last time cancer touched your life?
The mission of the North Valley Sparrow Foundation is to provide financial and emotional support services to families battling cancer in small, rural communities throughout Northern California.
​
For 3 years, North Valley Sparrow Foundation has been committed to the continuing support of patients with all types of cancer, male or female, at any age and at any stage in their cancer journey, regardless of financial status, residing in the 23 rural counties in Northern California. This commitment is made possible through collaborative partnerships with private donors and businesses throughout the counties we serve. 
We pride ourselves on the ability to act swiftly on requests, considering each on a case by case basis, while keeping funds local, assisting patients in the very communities we live in and frequent.  
Efforts are aimed at alleviating some of the ancillary burdens created by cancer, such as housing, transportation, personal care, and emotional wellness, not covered by health insurance or other programs.

Transportation and Travel: These are expenses for gas, tolls, parking, taxis, bus, train or plane fares to get to and from appointments and treatment centers, often hundreds of miles away from remote rural communities, as well as hotel or other lodging and travel expenses.

Family and Living Expenses:  Costs related to running a household and caring for family during cancer treatment, such as special accommodations in a home, childcare, elder care, and coping support.

Care giving, At-Home Care and Long-Term Care:  This includes any extra care a cancer patient may need, not covered by health insurance, such as hiring a person to prepare meals or drive the patient to medical appointments or extended care at a specialized facility or the assistance of a home health aide.

Employment, Legal and Financial Issues:  Costs that arise when a person needs professional guidance on employment, legal or financial issues related to a cancer diagnosis, such as loss of wages, employment rights under the law, or end-of-life services.
