What type of course do you need to cover? Maybe there are organizations that specialize in specific needs or people know ways to get insurance to cover it....

RCCS helps with medical copay for a small amount, like 3k. They also don't pay bills as they come, they wait until bills are in collections and after many, many calls - finally settle them. As a C patient myself, I can tell you the hardest part (aside from trying not to die) is trying to deal with day to day life and keeping afloat. Being sent meals is a big help, emotionally and financially. If they have a mortgage, let it go into foreclosure. Get an attorney to help them stay pro Bono and drag out the court process. This can buy them years (I know, I've done it but it's also location specific). NYC court systems are so backlogged that it works in the boroughs. Tuition needs to be cut to zero. Their rav should talk to the kids schools. I've been told to come up with the money for school and had no way of doing so. Eventually, the school got the idea when parents from my kids class started calling and heard I was dying. Clearly, I was not trying to evade my tuition responsibilities. Tomchei shabbos. Help them get signed up ASAP. Get a medical advocate at their cancer center to help them with C copays and free rides to and from. ACS can help with this too, along with lodging if in NYC for treatments. Start a gofundme or talk to different rabbeim ti discretely ask for community help. Rally the troops. It takes so much to fight to survive and any of the above would be very helpful (to me, at least). Hatzlocha!
