Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you called "Little Red Door?"
The Agency was originally located in a World War II barrack that had been refurbished, complete with a red door. Since the word "cancer" carried such a social stigma during the agency's founding, the "Little Red Door" became more commonly used than the official name.

What services do you provide?
Little Red Door offers disposable medical supplies, client services, breast prosthesis, bras, wigs, screening of three cancers (breast, cervical, and prostate), educational information, presentations, and transportation to and from treatment centers.

Who is eligible for help?
Little Red Door has committed themselves to serving the uninsured and underserved persons with cancer throughout Indianapolis.

How would someone qualify for your services?
Little Red Door qualifies people based on a series of questions. To see if you qualify, call 317-925-5595 and you will be asked, for example, what county you live in, how many people live in your household and what is the gross household income.

What is "Camp Little Red Door?"
Camp Little Red Door is developed for children with cancer ages 8-18. Held at Bradford Woods, 30 minutes south of Indianapolis, Camp Little Red Door maintains a medical staff and plans activities that are age-appropriate and based on each group's skill and ability level. One sibling per camper is invited to camp once all interested cancer patients who have applied have been accepted. Camp Little Red Door provides children living with cancer the opportunity to interact in a setting where the emphasis is on fun rather than illness.
