The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society received $50,000 from AllOne Foundation to create a pediatric patient financial assistance program as well as support pediatric patient services and programming for children living in northeastern and north central Pennsylvania.
The funds offer eligible pediatric blood cancer patients $500 for day-to-day expenses like gas, food, clothing, utilities, housing, acute dental work, as well as treatment-related travel and lodging expenses.
