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 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 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.

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.

The generosity of the Sanborn Foundation has been incredibly supportive. It’s not just the funds, although they are of course immeasurably helpful, but also the expression of generosity and compassion that this gift provides.

Thank you for the kindness and support you showed my sister and her family, I remember the day she told me “I don’t know what’s worse. the expenses or the cancer.” My heart broke for her. The Sanborn Foundation has been a blessing – thank you so much!

Thank you! Thank you! I passed the Sanborn information along to a friend and within two days they were approved and a huge bill was handled. The immediate relief and kindness that was provided to the family is amazing. I’m so grateful.

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 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.
