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.

Surviving Stage 4 cancer was made possible, in part, by your generosity in service and care – thank you from the bottom of my heart

I have been struggling with breast cancer off and on since 2009 and Sanborn has helped me tremendously along the way.

My illness kept me from working full-time. As a single parent, it has not always been easy to make ends meet, but you have helped to bridge the gap.

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.

The Sanborn Foundation has helped me greatly during a long treatment period. The reliable transportation to and from the hospital, which took the stress out of my treatment and the precise arrival time, no financial burden, and wonderful companionship of very caring people has made me very comfortable during this long recovery period. I am very grateful that Arlington provides this wonderful program.

Thank you for the generous support given to my sister. It made a huge difference, especially in her last months, knowing she wasn’t leaving a financial burden to her husband and children.

I cannot tell you how much of a relief this grant was for my mom and our family; it helped ease her final days. We hope you continue this valuable service to help patients and their families through difficult times.

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.

We appreciate the profoundly generous support from Sanborn.  How do people thank the Foundation?!  No thank you letter will ever come close to expressing our gratitude.
