Amy, patient<\/p>\n\t\t\t\"Quotations\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since diagnosis, my husband has been through multiple stages of chemo, a stem cell transplant, and various complications post stem cell transplant. This money will allow us to pay a large amount of the medical bills that we owe and use our limited income for daily needs, such as groceries and rent. What a relief it is to have assistance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Susan, caregiver<\/p>\n\t\t\t\"Quotations\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I would like to personally thank the generous donors for the grant money I have received from the Foundation. It has relieved some of the stress on myself and my family knowing we can pay a little more toward my medical bills. We are very grateful to know people like you exist. Thank you!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Amit, patient<\/p>\n\t\t\t\"Quotations\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I’ve been going to Leukemia Research Foundation’s patient education programs since 2016. I’ve learned a lot from the doctors and the programs are so affirming! When you hear information from top doctors that confirms the treatment direction you are going, it makes you feel more confident and relieved that you’re on the right track.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Janice, patient<\/p>\n\t\t\t\"Quotations\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Leukemia Research Foundation is a lifesaver. I stopped going to the doctor because I was overwhelmed with medical bills, co-pays, and transportation costs. Thank you for the support you have given me – my doctor says I’m improving again. You are the only organization that would help me out when I needed it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
