Children with leukemia don’t suffer alone—the disease affects the entire family.
The financial burden can be overwhelming.
CLRA helps lessen the financial weight of the disease and provides assistance for leukemia-fighting expenses.
The Children's Leukemia Research Association, Inc., provides financial aid to leukemia patients and their families. These funds help lessen the burden of meeting expenses incurred in treating the disease. Both children and adults with leukemia who show financial need are considered for aid.
The demand for our Patient Aid package is overwhelming and we help as many people obtain what is vital in their fight against leukemia with up to $1500/year. This much needed aid can help offset the cost of outpatient lab work and outpatient chemotherapy.
The Patient Aid Program serves eligible patients throughout the entire United States, and those in need are invited to request an application by contacting the Association.

Thank you so much for your generous support during our long journey and fight against childhood leukemia.
Without your help this would indeed be more of a financial burden.
Sincerely,
The Marks Family!

Summary of Patient Aid Services

Families seeking aid are encouraged to submit an application to our Patient Aid Director, accompanied by a letter of diagnosis from the attending physician stating that the patient is diagnosed with leukemia. If approved, aid will commence on the date of application.

The Children's Leukemia Research Association, Inc. will provide partial aid to help with the following expenses:
• Laboratory Fees associated with leukemia only
• X-Ray Therapy Treatment or Chemotherapy Treatment of leukemia
• Leukemia Drugs
