it even harder. Yet the American Cancer Society has a place where cancer
patients and their caregivers can find help and hope when home is far
away - an American Cancer Society Hope Lodge. Each Hope Lodge offers
cancer patients and their caregivers a free, temporary place to stay when
their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Not having to
worry about where to stay or how to pay for lodging allows guests to focus
on getting well. Hope Lodge provides a nurturing, home-like environment
where guests can retreat to private rooms or connect with others. Every

cancer and how best to fight the disease. For more information, visit www.
