This is tax week, and you’re probably absorbing all of the stress that comes with the annual dreaded April 15 deadline. Financial planning in general is difficult enough, but it’s exceptionally burdensome, and sometimes complex, for people who have a family member confronting a serious illness. Wouldn’t it help to be able to get direction free of charge? City of Hope thought so.
“Our new step-by-step guide, Taking Control: Effective Planning and Sound Finances When You Face Serious Illness, provides detailed information for families confronting serious illness on reducing stress through effective planning,” says Amy Goldman, vice president, Planned Giving, at City of Hope. The free publication is produced in cooperation with City of Hope’s Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center, which is led by multidisciplinary teams of volunteers and professionals and offers an integrated array of cancer support services to patients and their families.
