About This Grant:
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society regularly receives calls from patients who aren't able to move forward with their cancer treatments because they cannot afford to pay transportation to get to their providers, e.g., doctors, hospitals, transplant centers and research or clinical trial centers. Some patients in Maine need to travel out-of-state to get their recommended treatments, oftentimes resulting in patients having to choose between basic needs such as food or utilities and their health care. Our program provides $500 to qualified applicants to use for travel and basic expenses.
