My diagnosis and treatment have been an incredible challenge. Your assistance has offered relief and support during this trying time. It has allowed me to focus on my health and wellbeing

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.

M.S.

“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.

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.

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.

 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!

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!

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.

The generous grant awarded in the midst of my diagnosis and treatment disease was a godsend. It helped to relieve one of the burdens that the year brought us. I hope you are reading this, Elizabeth and George!
