Support for Individuals and Families
Who We Help
ROMA Foundation provides financial assistance to individuals and families across rural North-East Ohio who are experiencing hardship due to any healthcare-related issue. Whether you're facing a new diagnosis, an ongoing illness, an unexpected medical event, or the financial strain that often follows, we're here to help ease the burden so you can focus on healing.
We support both individuals and families, and there is no specific condition or diagnosis required to apply — our goal is simply to help our neighbors through difficult healthcare-related circumstances.
How Decisions Are Made
Every application submitted to ROMA Foundation is carefully reviewed by our Executive Board. Each case is considered thoughtfully and individually, with compassion and fairness guiding every decision. While we wish we could help everyone who applies, our board works diligently to direct support to those with the greatest need.
