Over 450 new cancer cases are diagnosed in the U.S. Virgin Islands each year, and more than 30% of residents lack medical insurance, creating heavy financial and emotional burdens. Cancer Support VI provides rapid financial grants and local resources to help patients access care—$2,500 for insured patients, $4,000 for Medicaid recipients, and $5,000 for uninsured individuals—with 100% of local donations used to support territory residents.
