Dec 2008
Pay their Way copay day was held on Dec 24 and we
are still awaiting the number of patients from the cancer center. We hope to be able to hold one more day before year
end; possibly on New Year's Eve. We also dropped off candy baskets and roses for the patients. We gave the
staff candle jars; for all of their help and assistance - without them we would not be able to execute our copay days.

Brian P O'Rourke of the McStoker Driscoll Foundation
called and asked if the foundation donated $500 could we use it for another Pay their Way day. Mr O'Rourke
stated that when he first heard about our program, he thought it was an excellent idea, and wanted to help us, continue holding
it.
NOW we need YOUR help so that we can
cover the co-payments for ALL patients.
Together we can make a difference. . .

The first event was held at Hunterdon Regional Cancer
Center
July 24, 2007 as we honored the memory of Loretta
Milligan.
We were able to provide HRCC $ 2500 to cover the
copayment's for all patients arriving for treatment. With your donations, we were able to make the copayments
for 43 patients.
Thank you on behalf of each patient assisted
"Much appreciation" was shown as each was advised
that today they were given the news !
How many times have you asked what you can do, when
you have learned that a friend, coworker or nieghbor has been diagnosed with cancer? Each of us says we want to
help, but we do not know what to do for them, we do not want to interfer or bother the patient or the family. With this
in mind and after learning that patients may be financially strapped we have received approval to hold "PAY THEIR WAY" copay
day at Hunterdon.
We are actively raising money to hold a Co-Pay day
at Hunterdon Regional Cancer. The event will consist of paying the co-pays for patients who are receiving treatment
(radiation or chemotherapy) at the facility.
Patients undergoing treatment are required to make
copays for their treatments, and for many this means on a "daily" basis. Payments can range anywhere from $5.00 to $100.00
per visit, and add stress and cause for concern to patients, who are already encountering changes in their lives.
