Hope Lodge

And hopefully this is the correct forum to post the link to assistance for lodging in various locations.

Th criteria for the Hope Lodge in NYC is that the patient needs to travel more than one hour to receive treatment.

We are scheduled to stay there next week and are looking forward to seeing the facilities, meeting other people who are going through a challenging time, and not having to travel to NYC each day for treatment.

"...Currently, there are 29 Hope Lodge locations throughout the United States. Accommodations and eligibility requirements may vary by location, and room availability is first come, first served. To find a Hope Lodge and to learn more about a specific facility, please visit that location's page, or call the American Cancer Society toll free anytime, day or night, at 1-800-ACS-2345.

If there is not a Hope Lodge in your area, please call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 for more information. Also you can visit Joe's House for additional lodging resources or enter your zip code on www.cancer.org's Find Local Resources page and select the category Housing."
