Why Give?
Every day, hundreds of cancer patients receive treatment at Eastern Maine Medical Center’s Cancer Care, located at the Lafayette Family Cancer Center in Brewer. Many of these patients travel over 30 miles each way for their appointments, facing significant physical and financial burdens.
Daily Impact
250-300 patients are seen and treated at EMMC Cancer Care each day.
Travel Challenges
Approximately 135 patients travel long distances daily to access care.
Frequent Treatments
Some patients require up to 40 visits in their first year of treatment, with sessions often lasting several hours.
Make a Difference
Over the past decade, more than 8,000 cancer patients from northern and eastern Maine have traveled to Brewer for treatment. Your support ensures they have a safe, welcoming place to stay near the Lafayette Family Cancer Center, alleviating the stress of long commutes and providing a supportive environment.
We Understand
Not everyone has the financial ability to support the house like maybe they would like. We’re always looking for people to volunteer at the house itself. If you can give us the gift of your time, we’d love to have you!
