7.Must my income level be entered before I can raise funds?

Entering your income level is optional. This information is not made public on your profile, it is private to you. Income levels help us know the background of our members and the economic impact of cancer on members.

8.Why does Just4Cancer involve friends, families and caregivers when they are not the individual with cancer?

Though the effects of cancer most directly affect the individual with cancer, its impact extends to the relatives or friends who care for the person with cancer.

Family and friends are often central in providing care or assistance in both the immediate and long term management of cancer. Furthermore, as a result of advances in treatment and health care changes, much of cancer care is offered on an outpatient basis and is performed at home by caregivers. Research indicates that caregiving can be both demanding and burdensome – physically, emotionally, and financially – for many cancer caregivers.**

9.Can I support a cancer charity with the funds I raise?

Charitable giving is an integral part of our business and as a registered member of our platform you have the opportunity to financially support a cancer charity of your choice and indicate what percentage of your campaign funds will be donated. While this is obligatory the minimum amount is 2.5% or $10.

Since verifying and validating each campaign’s beneficiary is part of our founding principles, we want to make it easy for all families to raise money on Just4Cancer.

That notwithstanding, we currently have an ongoing pilot for residents of Cameroon. For families residing in Cameroon, download and sign our medical release form. Take it to your provider (doctor/oncologist). Submit your medical release form, selected medical record, cancer story, photos (before and during treatment or after treatment) and video (if available) including a certified copy of national identification card to Pilot1@just4cancer.com. Make sure your phone number is included in the email. After our verification is satisfactorily completed, a campaign shall be established on your behalf on our platform.
We intend to expand to other countries with digitized and non digitized medical records capabilities in the near future.
