The Brenda Mehling Cancer Fund (BMCF) supports patients ages 18-40 as they undergo cancer treatment. This fund provides services to meet daily needs that are not covered by insurance. Typical grants cover $600 worth of medical co-payments, transportation, rents or mortgages, repairs and groceries.
In early 2003, the BMCF incorporated as a California non-profit. Later that same year it became a Federal 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Since it was founded by Brenda in 2001, the Fund has provided over $258,000 in services for 382 young adults across 30 different states. She built it specifically for young adults her age to maintain self-respect during the months of treatment and minimize the financial stresses that are associated with this trying time.
In February 2004, Brenda lost her second battle against cancer. However, the BMCF continues to realize her vision of a nationwide support organization that helps young adults fight cancer.
