Our Services

With so many questions following your diagnosis, how you will get to your appointments shouldn’t be one of them. Lee’s Friends will transport you to and from your cancer-related appointments so that you have one less thing to worry about.
A cancer diagnosis brings many unexpected costs and places a financial burden on patients and their families. If you are experiencing financial hardship, Lee’s Friends may be able to help.
Many cancer patients experience significant emotional distress following their diagnosis and throughout their treatment. Lee’s Friends offers a compassionate ear, an empathetic word, and reliable support to help you navigate your cancer journey.
