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.”

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 am so grateful to have this foundation help me through my journey. The Sanborn Foundation truly has been a cornerstone by allowing me to maintain some quality of life and sleep better at night, not having the worry of medical expenses.
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.

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.

I cannot tell you how much of a relief this grant was for my mom and our family; it helped ease her final days. We hope you continue this valuable service to help patients and their families through difficult times.

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!)

Surviving Stage 4 cancer was made possible, in part, by your generosity in service and care – thank you from the bottom of my heart
Thank you so much for all the support you have given to me. It has made my cancer journey more manageable and affordable, so I could use some of the symptom management services such as acupuncture.
I deeply appreciate your unique support to Arlington’s community and myself.
Sincerely,

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.
