At Gifts of Hope, we understand that the cancer journey comes with physical, emotional, and financial challenges. That’s why we provide a range of free support services designed to ease the burden and bring comfort, care, and hope to patients and their loved ones. From lodging and transportation to medical and financial assistance, we are here to ensure no one fights alone.
A home away from home for cancer patients receiving treatment at Allison Cancer Center or Texas Oncology, Hope House offers a safe and welcoming place to stay, completely free of charge. Conveniently located next to Allison Cancer Center in Midland, the house features eight private bedrooms, each equipped with two twin beds, a private bathroom, a television, and storage space. Guests also have access to a comfortable common area and a full-size kitchen to prepare meals and relax in a warm, supportive environment. At Hope House, patients and caregivers find not only accommodations but also a community of care and understanding.
The costs of cancer-related medications and medical supplies can add up quickly. Gifts of Hope provides financial assistance to help cover prescription copays and other essential medical needs for patients currently undergoing treatment and for up to 12 months post-treatment. We also assist with durable medical equipment. Our goal is to relieve some of the financial stress so patients can focus on what truly matters, healing.
For some cancer patients, treatment cannot begin until necessary dental procedures, such as tooth extractions, are completed. Radiation therapy, in particular, can cause tooth and jawbone decay, making pre-treatment dental work a medical necessity. We provide financial assistance for these procedures and also help with bridges and dentures to restore patients’ smiles and confidence.
Reliable transportation is critical for cancer patients traveling to and from treatment. For those living in Midland, we provide transportation services for appointments at Allison Cancer Center. For patients traveling from outside the Permian Basin, we offer gas gift cards to help ease the financial burden of long-distance travel. Our goal is to ensure that no patient ever misses a treatment due to transportation barriers.
Cancer care often requires additional medical exams, tests, and procedures, which can be costly, especially for those without insurance or with limited coverage. We assist with the expenses of necessary medical services that are crucial for starting or continuing cancer treatment.
Proper nutrition is essential during cancer treatment, and we’re committed to ensuring patients have nutritious meals when they need them most. Our Hope House Honeybees prepare and deliver daily lunches to infusion patients at Allison Cancer Center Monday through Friday. Additionally, a special meal is prepared once a week for all guests staying at Hope House, creating a sense of community and comfort for those undergoing treatment.
Since 2008, Gifts of Hope has been dedicated to helping patients navigate the overwhelming financial costs of cancer treatment. We provide financial aid for expenses including:
✔️ Lodging for clients going out of town for treatment
✔️ Transportation assistance to get back and forth to appointments
✔️ Medical exams and procedures
✔️ Prescriptions & medical supplies
We believe that no one should have to fight cancer alone, or worry about how to afford the care they need. If you or a loved one needs assistance, we are here for you.

Survivorship comes with its own challenges, and we are honored to facilitate A Time to Heal, a 9-week research-based program designed to improve survivor outcomes. This comprehensive curriculum provides cancer survivors with the tools to enhance physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being post-treatment. Through expert-led sessions, practical strategies, and group discussions, participants learn how to regain strength, manage lingering side effects, and embrace life beyond cancer with renewed confidence and purpose.
