A member asked:
My cousin has leukemia, but he is he is illegal immigrant in the united states. is there an organization that can help reduce the hospital bills?

Consider: Community fund raising. Alternatively, seek out information from the american cancer society or the community cancer support groups located in cancer centers. Lastly, if he has insurance in his home country and is stable to travel the best idea is to return home for treatment as this is the least expensive method for receiving treatment, again assuming he has insurance in his homeland.
