The mission of Helping Hands of Cincinnati is to provide financial assistance to families battling cancer in the Tri-State area. Our goal is to help cover essential expenses that insurance may not fully support, including—but not limited to—travel, living expenses, physical and mental therapy, deductibles, and co-insurance payments. In addition, we connect families with other support programs to help ease the financial burdens associated with cancer. Helping Hands of Cincinnati will accept new applications yearly as funding becomes available. One hundred percent of all proceeds raised through HHC donations and events are directed to families in the Greater Cincinnati community.
