re: MD Anderson Cancer Center and LA

I am here now! MD Anderson’s Social Workers gave me a ton of free housing options. Tough to get in, but not impossible.

I was in a recovery room Tuesday next to someone with a 318 number and yesterday in an infusion room next to someone from Lafayette. Louisiana folks come here in droves…as they should!

There are a ton of resources available to patients from Louisiana, but there is no centralized location. It would be a heavy lift to create all new avenues of help for La folks. Maybe a website or a hub of information where folks can communicate needs or available resources? I bet tapping those in MDA admin, as suggested by others, would be a great start.

Transportation, runners for small things (I needed seran wrap to cover a picc line while showering), housing, financial assistance, or just a friend. All good stuff TT. Let me know how I can help!
