Critical Service Support

TamBo Foundation

At TamBo Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting patients and their families through every step of the cancer journey. We recognize that a cancer diagnosis brings not only health challenges but also emotional and financial strain—especially within African and Afrodiasporic communities where resources and culturally tailored support is limited.

Our goal is to reduce these burdens by providing essential services that address the real needs of those navigating cancer. This includes:

  • Grocery Assistance: Ensuring access to nutritious food so patients and their families can focus on healing without worrying about their next meal.
  • Financial Relief Services: Assisting with the everyday costs that add up during cancer treatment, such as utility bills, medication co-pays, and other unforeseen expenses.
  • Resource Navigation: Connecting patients to culturally competent care, support groups, and advocacy resources tailored specifically for African and Afrodiasporic populations.
  • Emotional and Peer Support: Providing access to networks of survivors, patient navigators, and culturally sensitive counselors who understand the unique challenges faced by our communities.
  • Education and Empowerment: Offering workshops, informational sessions, and materials that help families make informed decisions about their care and understand the treatability of the six major cancers affecting our communities.

Our holistic approach centers on the dignity and well-being of every patient. Whether you need help with daily living expenses, finding the right healthcare provider, or just a listening ear, TamBo Foundation is here to advocate for you and walk alongside you on your cancer journey.
