Financial Assistance
Transitional Cell Carcinoma may not have a cure, but it can often be managed. Many of the treatment options are expensive. If you find yourself unable to afford treatment, here is a list of organizations that might be able to help. Please remember that the application process may take some time to be approved and to receive funds. These organizations may be able to provide a life line to you and your pet.
Consider starting your own fundraising campaign at www.gofundme.com, mightycause.com, waggle.org or another fundraising site. Whether you're raising money from hundreds of supporters or just friends and family, these sites let you fundraise quickly and effectively.
