zichron shlomo can help in various different ways. Chai Lifeline will generally do pediatrics. Rofeh Choleh Cancer Society RCCS, will help with paying premiums for insurance. If it's pediatrics, Friends of Karen can help with funding for household help, transportation, rent etc..
Chemed helps with household help in the Rockland area.
Chumy Bodek from Sharing and Caring has a compiled list of all organizations and funding sources. IF you need any of these phone numbers you can PM to me.

Does anyone have any information on hospice care for cancer patients? Are there any hospices in NY? We were told most hospices are run by nuns. Are hospice services covered by insurance? ANY information will be greatly appreciated.
