For cancer patients who live more than an hour away from Baltimore and have been sent here for lifesaving treatment, the cost to stay at a hotel or rental can be insurmountable. That’s where Hope Lodge comes in, providing free accommodations. “It’s a home away from home,” says Tswana Sewell, vice president of the American Cancer Society’s Greater DC/Baltimore chapter. “It’s really a community where folks can have greater access to care, free transportation. And a lot of folks leave with new friends that they’ll have for life.” #baltimore #news #cancercare #maryland
