about
Cancer can have a large financial impact on families beyond the actual medical expenses. A patient's income may be reduced or entirely halted during treatment and recovery, while loved ones may also have to reduce working time to help with care.
The Snell Foundation is a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to providing patients of New England Cancer Specialists with a range of financial help, including:
Prescription medications
Medical equipment
Medical insurance premiums
Transportation (gas, taxis, tolls, parking and travel)
Everyday living expenses
Meals, protein drinks and other healthy food options
Heating & utilities (oil, gas, propane, electricity, water & sewer, telephone)
Rent, mortgage payments & homeowners insurance
We're here to help - confidentially and as easily as possible. For a consultation on your financial needs, call NECS at 207.396.7600 and ask to speak with Torrina Lavoie, Financial Advocate. Or email her at
