Emergency Travel Aid
Lymphoma Foundation of America has emergency travel aid for lymphoma and leukemia patients who are in a financial crisis:
Have no health insurance, are not eligible for Medicaid or Medicare, have lost your job, are homeless, have no family members who can help you.
If you are experiencing a sudden financial crisis (see above), please ask the clinical social worker at the nonprofit cancer center where you are currently receiving lymphoma treatments to email or call the Foundation. If you are eligible for emergency aid to help with your travel to and from the doctor, your clinical social worker can assist you to apply.
