Being awarded a grant took the weight of worry about financing my husbands care off of my shoulders. Thank you for the work you do and the care you show when you do it.

I still feel as if I’m waking up from a dream after talking with you (Sanborn Outreach Coordinator) yesterday. My husband and I are absolutely floored at the kindness and generosity of your organization. From the bottom of our hearts – thank you.

We are so grateful to the Sanborn Foundation for all of your help during my dad’s final months. Because of you, we were able to keep my parents together during this time. You have a wonderful organization and we will be forever thankful.

I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am to the Sanborn Foundation for their help during my time of need. I was completely overwhelmed when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. It’s been a whirlwind year – two rounds of chemotherapy/immunotherapy, two surgeries and then radiation, during which the COVID19 outbreak occurred. But the Sanborn Foundation has been so helpful with medical bills and other expenses. I just wanted to reach out and say how grateful I am for all that you have done.

The funds from the Sanborn have meant a tremendous amount to me and my family. We have been able to focus on me getting better instead of on the financial stress, in addition to the overwhelming situation we have found ourselves in.

“Relaxation” frees the heart.
“Courage” opens the heart.
“Compassion” fills the heart.
Thank you so very much for giving me the gift of all three.
Please find a letter of sincere appreciation + gratitude. Please count on me to help give the Sanborn Foundation the recognition it deserves.
With many thanks,

It is beyond belief what a unique and amazing resource you are for the residents of Arlington. Being diagnosed with cancer has been an emotionally traumatic experience for me on many levels. This includes the overwhelming financial costs that are related to my treatment. The funds that I have received from the Sanborn Foundation are a ray of sunshine and hope in what has been a dark storm and will be of immense help as I continue to struggle with this disease. Thank you very, very much.

Thank you so much for all the support you have given to me. It has made my cancer journey more manageable and affordable, so I could use some of the symptom management services such as acupuncture.
I deeply appreciate your unique support to Arlington’s community and myself.
Sincerely,
A.B.
I was blind-sided by a diagnosis with a malignant tumor in my colon which spread to my liver. Immediately, my family and friends and healthcare team shared various resources that help people in situations like mine. Yet, without a doubt, the Sanborn Foundation tops this list. By far. This hidden gem of a foundation treated me—and still treats me—with dignity and supports my healing process above and beyond what I could ever imagine. I received a very generous grant from the Sanborn Foundation for my medical needs and an added stipend to be used for integrative therapies…I consider the Sanborn Foundation to be one of the gifts received as to why I am healing so well. From the bottom of my healing heart, “thank you.”

I can’t say enough laudatory things about the Sanborn Foundation. Knowing that the cabs will get me to and from my lengthy appointments in Boston is reassuring—one less concern during treatments. Without the Foundation’s support, [staff’s] kindness and ride-arranging, and the drivers, keeping my appointments wouldn’t be possible. I am grateful for the program and their help.
