About This Grant:
The Dean Snell Cancer Foundation strives to continue to meet multiple and pressing transportation needs to ensure ongoing treatment for cancer patients at New England Cancer Specialists in Topsham. Gas cards and an Emergency Taxi Voucher program enable patients to get to doctor's appointments and treatments. Our assistance with travel expenses and hotel expenses, when necessary, to out-of-state hospitals provides the opportunity for often crucial consultations and additional treatment. Assistance with car repairs, car insurance and car payments are especially important when the ability to continue working is compromised and it becomes difficult for patients to manage unexpected and everyday living expenses.
