In the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area, approximately 40,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed each year. This data highlights the significant impact of cancer in the region and underscores the importance of organizations that provide support to cancer patients. The average household in American cannot handle a $400 “surprise”, much less a $2,500 deductible for insurance or lifesaving cancer treatment.
Me Squared Cancer Foundation was established in 2019 by Mimi Tran following her diagnosis with breast cancer. Mimi recognized her privilege in having the financial means, emotional support, and educational resources needed to navigate her cancer journey. During her treatment, Mimi was deeply troubled by a critical question: “What about those who lack the resources I have?”
At Me Squared Cancer Foundation, we believe that no one’s financial situation should dictate their access to life-saving cancer treatment. We offer financial grants of up to $3,500 to newly diagnosed adult cancer patients (within the past 12 months) in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.
We just celebrated our 5 Years Anniversary! In those 5 years, we have raised $1.4 million dollars, helping over 600 newly diagnosed cancer patients.
Me Squared Cancer Foundation helps adults with newly diagnosed cancer in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and surrounding counties by providing cancer-related educational and financial assistance to ease their journey and to give them hope.
A person's financial situation should not determine whether they get their cancer treatment or not. Me Squared is working to help eliminate this problem one person at a time.
We can’t do this without you.
Last year, thanks to generous supporters like you, Me Squared Cancer Foundation raised just over $14,000 through North Texas Giving Day—funds that directly helped cancer patients in crisis. This year, our goal is to raise $18,000 to support at least 9 newly diagnosed adult cancer patients across the DFW area.
Every dollar raised helps cover urgent needs like treatment costs, transportation, and medications. Grants are paid directly to providers, eliminating delays in care and easing the crushing financial burden cancer brings.
Me Squared operates with a lean staff: just one full-time Executive Director and a part-time Project Manager. All other aspects of our work—from administrative tasks to event planning—are powered by dedicated volunteers. Currently, almost 80% all funds go directly to patient grants.
Whether you give $10 or $2,500, your donation brings relief, hope, and dignity to someone facing cancer today.
At Me Squared Cancer Foundation, we service those at 250% poverty level or below. Clients must live in one of the 11 counties in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. We do not discriminate by gender, race or ethnicity, type of cancer, or whether someone is insured or uninsured.
