1. Financial reimbursements for costs related to surgery (save your receipts!)
2. Cooking, cleaning, transportation, shelter, pet care, laundry, in person or virtual socializing, surgery-specific aftercare, patient advocacy, and more.
*Please be aware that we are a volunteer-run organization that does not have an extensive background check process for new volunteers. We make our best effort to protect you and your personal information, but we are a "use at your own risk" free resource. We reach out by email or text.*
*We read every request that is submitted, even if submitted with less than 45 days of advance notice. We offer as much support as we can, on a case-by-case basis.*
*WE DO NOT RESPOND TO CARE REQUESTS UNTIL AT MOST ONE MONTH BEFORE YOUR ANTICIPATED PROCEDURE DATE. YOU WILL NOT HEAR BACK FROM US IMMEDIATELY, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR REQUEST WAS NOT RECEIVED!*
*Please be aware that we have separate lists of care requests based on the city where support is needed. It'll save us a little time if you double-check which link you click*

Is your city not yet listed? Feel free to use either the SF or NYC link for virtual support. We would love to expand our in-person and virtual services! Please feel free to reach out and get involved with our work. Financial support through reimbursements also may occasionally be available to people outside of NYC or SF. If in doubt, feel free to submit a request for support that explains your situation. We will read it, we promise!
