I am hoping that my Breast Cancer Sisters can help me. My husband and 3 children reside in Upstate NY while I have had had to take an apartment in NYC a block away from Bruckner Oncology Center. I have been receiving treatments in NYC for the past six months and have been improving however, I am running out money to support my housing and transportation costs. Do you know of any non-for-profits or organizations that could help cancer patients in my situation?
Thank you in advance for your support.

    I don't know of any that help with these problems but you might call the ACS and ask them if they have any info. Sorry.
