Compassionate Care Fund
When Chauntel Martinez, Health First Cancer Institute Patient Advocate, learned Greg was not making it to his chemo and radiation appointments, she had to find out why. She discovered his truck had broken down and despite pawning most of what he owned; Greg could not afford to fix it. He had no ride to his appointments – and making it to them was critical for his treatment.
“He was able to get treatment, but unable to get here and I knew we needed to help,” said Chauntel.
She reached out to the Health First Foundation to apply for a Guardian Angel Grant for Greg’s transportation. Chauntel knew that without help, Greg’s challenges would continue to grow.
That’s where you made a difference. Because of you, Greg had rides to seven weeks of chemo and radiation. We are pleased to share he is now cancer free. Your gift to the Compassionate Care Fund through Associate Month of Giving (AMG) is a bridge to better health for individuals like Greg. Hear Chauntel share how AMG helped Greg in this brief video.
