In this episode of the Eye Believe Podcast, we’re joined by Adrián Franco, Ph.D., founder of Broken Not Broke, an initiative dedicated to addressing the often-overlooked financial toxicity of childhood cancer.
After his son was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma in 2022, Adrián experienced firsthand the overwhelming financial challenges families face during treatment. In response, he created Broken Not Broke to help connect the dots—serving as a centralized resource that links patients, parents, social workers, and caregivers to organizations offering financial assistance for pediatric cancer families across the United States.
In this conversation, Adrián shares:
His personal journey as a cancer parent
The real impact of financial strain on families
How Broken Not Broke functions as a national resource hub
Why improving access to financial support is critical for families’ long-term well-being
Adrián is also the Executive Director of the Guarini Institute for International Education and Economic Mobility and serves on the Patient and Family Advisory Council for Quality at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
This episode shines a light on an important gap in cancer care—and offers hope, resources, and direction for families who need it most.
