Theme 2: “Because I had help, I was able to make ends meet.” [Support]
Support in many forms and from many different sources was a major cross-cutting theme. AYA and caregivers emphasized the importance of support in their ability to navigate and manage financial burdens and stressful situations such as those mentioned in Theme 1. Support was characterized by four unique categories: [1] family support, [2] community support, [3] healthcare team and institutional support, and [4] insurance support. As one caregiver said, “certainly for someone with less community support or less financial support, less familial support, automatically when finance started, it was like ‘Ahh!’ you know” (Caregiver, 1b).
