Solicitud de apoyo para pacientes con cáncer de colon
Dos fondos, una causa importante
Two extraordinary funds, the Melissa Chermak Liput Memorial Fund and the Susan Burke Foundation for Colon Cancer, were created at SACF to support individuals with a colon cancer diagnosis who are experiencing financial hardship.
Ambos fondos han sido nombrados en memoria de dos mujeres especiales de nuestra comunidad cuyo legado nos honra continuar. Los solicitantes pueden pedir ayuda de estos fondos a través de una única solicitud.
