How can I get financial assistance? Must stay home with wife who is battling cancer.

If you are having problems with hospital bills, some hospitals have a Charity Dept. My grandson's deductible was covered.

Bryfal, I just happened to be going through my stash of CURE magazines (which address cancer and all its related aspects) and recall an article on financial assistance for patients and family.

I saved it for future reference; it's somewhere in the 2 volumes of articles I did save.  I'll go through them over the weekend and see if I can find resources, but I've also checked the CURE website and found this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=CURE%2C+assistance+for+cancer&source=hp&ei=sKrxYLKKN_7O0PEPu7qCyAU&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAYPG4wI3ofLpmxV3EEltrsuV5X87GoSxM&oq=CURE%2C+assistance+for+cancer&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyCAghEBYQHRAeMggIIRAWEB0QHjIICCEQFhAdEB4yCAghEBYQHRAeMggIIRAWEB0QHjIICCEQFhAdEB4yCAghEBYQHRAeMggIIRAWEB0QHjIICCEQFhAdEB4yCAghEBYQHRAeOgUIABCRAjoFCAAQsQM6CwguELEDEMcBEKMCOggIABCxAxCDAToICC4QxwEQowI6BAgAEEM6CAguELEDEIMBOgQILhBDOgIIADoGCAAQChBDOgcIABDJAxBDOgUIABCSAzoNCC4QsQMQsQMQChCTAjoHCC4QsQMQCjoICC4QxwEQrwE6BggAEBYQHjoFCAAQhgM6CAgAEAgQDRAeOgUIIRCgAToFCCEQqwI6BAgAEA06BggAEA0QHjoICAAQDRAFEB46CwgAEMkDEA0QBRAeUN0HWJ85YP45aABwAHgBgAHiAYgBjBOSAQYyMC40LjGYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiyoqfW-OfxAhV-JzQIHTudAFkQ4dUDCAw&uact=5#spf=1626450617000

Or:  search on "CURE, assistance for cancer".

This is one of several articles that might be helpful:

CURE at one time was an outstanding reference magazine with articles ranging from practical adaptation to new medical developments.  It used to be free for cancer patients and their families.   You might find it helpful; it helps people realize they're not alone in this unpleasant journey.

I hope this helps, and identifies sources of relief for you and your wife during this challenging time.
