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.

Wow, it is so amazing and kind of the foundation to approve my grant. This will be so tremendously helpful- can’t even express how helpful…and it just fills my heart with appreciation and gratitude (sounds corny but true!)

The funds from the Sanborn have meant a tremendous amount to me and my family. We have been able to focus on me getting better instead of on the financial stress, in addition to the overwhelming situation we have found ourselves in.

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.

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 very much to the Sanborn Foundation for helping me out. I am glad you are there for me, if I need you.

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 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! 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.
