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.
Receiving the grant truly is a miracle as we did not know where we were going to find the funds needed for my treatment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how much your support means.

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 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.

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!

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.

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!
“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.
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.
