You Don't Have to Be the Patient to Reach Out

A Moment request can begin with someone who cares about the individual and wants to help make a meaningful experience possible.

Family member
Caregiver
Oncology social worker
Nurse navigator
Hospice or palliative care professional
Hospital social worker or case manager
Friend
Cancer support organization
Community or faith organization

Healthcare and support professionals do not need to coordinate the entire Moment. Helping a patient or family connect with One More Moment is enough to get the process started.

Who We Serve

Who May Qualify for a Moment?

One More Moment currently serves adults in Michigan facing advanced, Stage IV or metastatic cancer. Every request is reviewed individually with care.

Review Eligibility & Start a Request
  • The person is an adult.
  • The person lives in Michigan.
  • The person is facing Stage IV, advanced, or metastatic cancer.
  • The request is for a meaningful Moment with loved ones.
  • Support is needed because cost, timing, logistics, health, or resources make the Moment difficult to create alone.
  • Confirmation from an oncology provider may be requested.

Every Moment Is Personal

Moments do not need to be elaborate. A meaningful request may be simple, practical, joyful, quiet or deeply personal.

Each request is reviewed individually based on eligibility, timing, safety, logistics and available resources.
