The Pushparanee Ganesan Foundation
We work to help cover essential household bills for women in active cancer treatment who are facing financial hardship — so they can focus on what matters most.
Apply for assistanceNo woman should have to fight for her life while also worrying about keeping the lights on.
A cancer diagnosis is devastating. But for many women, the financial consequences can be just as crushing. The moment income drops — because she had to cut her hours or stop working entirely — the bills don't stop coming. We do our best to help with that.
We support women of any age, any cancer type, anywhere in the world. We do not require a specific diagnosis stage or proof you've exhausted other resources. If you are fighting and you need help, reach out.
The Pushparanee Ganesan Foundation honors a woman who embodied the values this foundation was built on.
Pushparanee emigrated from Sri Lanka to the United States, where she studied Accounting at Ramapo College and worked in banking. She believed deeply in the power of education to transform lives, and she poured that belief into her family, her community, and everyone around her.
She was known for her warmth, her strength, her generosity, and a smile that made people feel at home. She loved cooking, hosting dinner parties, investing in real estate, and spending time with the people she loved.
This foundation is a tribute to her life and an extension of what she stood for.
We review requests on a rolling basis and do our best to respond quickly. You don't need to have everything perfectly organized — just tell us your situation.
