Cancer Legal Care

Cancer Legal Care provides free legal care to Minnesotans affected by cancer. 

Legal care brings guidance and clarity to people with cancer.

But don't take our word for it. 

Here's how one of our clients responded to the question, 

"What would you say to someone who was considering a donation to Cancer Legal Care?"

"Thank you for even considering donating to CLC. It makes me weak in the knees to know that people are even rolling it around in their minds.

I’m sure the people who donate have no idea how much they took off my shoulders during my sister's sickness, or how much relief my sister got from having her benefits turned back on. I feel like people think, ‘Oh she's fighting cancer and that’s her only fight’ but there’s so much other hard work buried under that.

I don’t think our family thought that my sister would fall into the hole she fell into, because we thought of cancer as a medical condition. But you don’t think about all of the other social determinants of health it’ll mess up. ‘Will I lose my housing now? Am I going to lose my car?’ All of these other things. She was the primary source of income for their family and that’s not a stress that a person recovering from cancer needs to have on their plate.

You have no idea how much help you could give someone by just chipping in."

This Give to the Max, your donation will be DOUBLED by our generous sponsors.

Cancer Legal Care's donors make legal care possible every day.

The collective impact of our donor's generosity has resulted in over $17 million dollars in free legal care services to the Minnesota cancer community, directly impacting our clients' ability to:

• successfully appeal health insurance denials for their cancer treatments
• continue their medical care and insurance  coverage
• maintain their employment
• stay in their homes
• successfully apply for Social Security Disability Insurance when they can no longer work
• create guardianship plans for the care of their young children                                                                 

Our DONORS make this happen.

Every day our clients tell us what a positive impact getting their questions answered and their legal issues resolved has on their peace of mind and quality of life.  

Your gift makes it all possible.  Thank you!
