Curated by Saltwater provides direct financial support to families navigating a loved one’s cancer treatment. We help cover critical everyday needs—like housing, food, and childcare—so families can focus on what matters most: supporting the patient.

In Southern California, non-medical expenses during treatment can exceed $50,000 per year, and many families experience a sudden loss of income. This financial strain—known as financial toxicity—can make an already difficult journey even harder.

We partner with hospital caregivers and social workers to identify families in urgent need and ensure support reaches them quickly and thoughtfully.

Our mission is simple:

Relieve the burden so families can focus on healing, not hardship.
