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 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.

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 wanted to send my deepest, heartfelt thanks for all financial support I was given during a very difficult diagnosis and recovery this year.
Eight months post-surgery, I am fully back to life… working, swimming, travel, time with friends and family.
The support I got from Sanborn was invaluable, and made an uncertain time just a bit easier.

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 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.”

There really are no words to express our tremendous appreciation to you and your team and to the incredible generosity of Mr. George Sanborn. I read from your site that he originally wanted to build a hospital in Arlington. If he only knew the impact he has had. If I ever had another child – which I won’t – I’d name the baby George!

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.

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.

“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,
V.
