    What to bring to the meeting

    • Your child’s diagnosis, the hospital’s name, and what you need help with.

    What happens next

    • The medical social worker completes the family, referrer, appointment, treatment, location, vehicle, and accessibility fields.
    • The medical social worker submits the online form, or completes the non-fillable PDF and sends it by official email or fax.
    • CCFSoCal reviews eligibility and availability during the published 2-4 business-day assessment period.
    • If approved, CCFSoCal works with the family on a Road to Recovery referral, gas gift card, or Uber/Lyft transport to cancer-related appointments.

After your social worker sends it

Allow 2-4 business days for review and respond to CCFSoCal coordination about the available transportation option.
