    Hi [social worker’s name],

We’d like to apply to Oracle Health Foundation’s Pediatric Travel and Lodging Grants. They offer up to $1,000 for future lodging, transport, gas, vehicle charging, or parking for medical travel, and we want to be ready when the next round opens.

They need 2 things from you or someone on the care team: a letter and a document. The letter has to cover expected treatment dates and expected duration of treatment. Their form and instructions are here: https://apply.yourcausegrants.com/apply/programs/d47c330a-d840-4eb7-bc2a-b74829398830

Could you write that when you have a chance? I can send you the link, or bring a printout to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.
