The greatest gift you can give a cancer patient is a sense of hope, freedom, and strength during their journey.
Wanda's journey exemplifies the challenges and triumphs of a 70-year-old breast cancer survivor. Just when she thought she was in the clear, her cancer made an unwelcome return, triggering worries about managing appointments and treatments all over again. Thankfully, the medical staff at Nashville General Hospital came to her aid, introducing her to the hospital's free transportation program for cancer patients, funded by the Team Chad Fund at Nashville General Hospital Foundation.
With this newfound support, Wanda regained a sense of control. Over the past year and a half, she's kept up with her monthly infusion appointments without the burden of transportation concerns weighing her down. It's made all the difference in her care, fostering a sense of independence and renewed hope.
Wanda's story is a powerful testament to the profound impact of the Team Chad Fund on patients' lives. The program not only provides transportation for patients, but also helps with rent, utilities, and medically guided foods. It's about giving hope, making patients feel special, and letting them know that they are not alone in their fight against illness.
"And let me tell you, being picked up in a Mercedes van? That was something else. It made me feel like a VIP," remarked Wanda. "It's the little things that lift your spirits."
Team Chad Courtesy Van has seating for eight passengers, two wheelchairs and one driver.
