The cost of travelling to and from a medical center that has that unique treatment for your loved one can be very expensive since you often need to come several times a year. This valuable and free resource manned by wonderful compassionate volunteers who will do their best to get you a flight provides free transportation on corporate jets for cancer patients and one family member or friend. Let them know as early as possible (at least 3 weeks prior) when and where you need to arrive with doctors' name and appointments. You must be able to walk and not require oxygen tanks, etc. You should be suitably dressed for your flight as these are executive corporate jets. You have to have a backup plan in case they have no seats. Corporate airports do not always land at the major airports but transportation to the hospital is cheaper than paying for a flight.

If you are family or friends of someone hospitalized, Hospitality for Friends and Family will help try to find free safe and comfortable accomodations for one or two nights in a nearby hotel. This free service is NOT for patients, only family and friends. This is great if you are from out of town and need a break from camping out at the hospital bedside of your loved one and cannot afford our city's expensive hotel rates. You cannot call more than 2 or three days in advance as the hotel rooms are only donated when there are no regular bookings. Social worker referral recommended. Remember - this is only for one or two nights - don't be greedy! there are many people out there that need this help.

Of course, you will need proof of eligibility, but rates are only about $50/nt and higher for VIP single and double occupancy rooms (about $100/nt.) Call ahead for reservations.

If you are a resident of Babylon, this organization has a great program called "Lend a Helping Hand" which supports breast cancer patients who are town residents of Babylon. They can help with transportation to medical appointments, purchasing prothetics, house cleaning, meals, etc. etc. You will need to have supporting documents from your doctor but it's so nice to have someone help you out during a very stressful time. Great people. Great support. Wish they had this in every town.

Mostly roses starting at $8/dozen but they also recently had beautiful yellow calla lilies (also in pink and purple)- $18/bunch. They will make them into a bouquet or make a beautiful arrangement in vases for you (I had one made from the lilies and roses in a vase for under $45 delivered). They are helpful and attentive to your needs. Highly recommended!
