Contacting the Sanborn Foundation was a watershed moment for me: I stepped out of the thickets of confusion surrounding a medical emergency and onto an overlook showing the possibility of a viable path ahead. Their calm support, friendliness, professional precision, breadth of knowledge, and welcoming demeanor were a marvelous expression of an institution committed to practical service to those facing the financial and emotional consequences of cancer.
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.

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.
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.

I would like to thank you for all that you do for all Arlington residents, it truly is an amazing asset in our community. It takes a village to heal and the Sanborn’s assistance is invaluable to its beneficiaries trying to do so. The funds from Sanborn feel like a warm hug and provide a silver living and hope in an otherwise unfortunate situation.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you again, Sanborn. Every time we tell a family member how amazing your foundation is their jaws just drop! We are so grateful for all the help you provide.

Sanborn is such a gift to all the people who have cancer and need treatment. It’s a blessing not have to worry about the cost of bills and transportation. We are so grateful and blessed!
