  • A $250 refundable deposit is required.
  • Mayo Clinic social-worker referral is required.

    Red Drop Resources takes requests from your social worker, not from families. Copy this message, or say it at the next visit.

    Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to Red Drop Resources for us? They offer up to 75 nights of free furnished lodging during blood-cancer care, with a refundable $250 deposit, and it has to come from you. Their page is here: https://www.rdrmn.org/travis-house

Tell me what you need from me and I’ll bring it to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.

    What to bring to the meeting

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

    What happens next

    • Have the Mayo Clinic social worker send or coordinate the referral and reservation request with Red Drop Resources at info@rdrmn.org.
    • Give the form to a qualified healthcare professional to confirm diagnosis and Rochester appointment frequency, then print their name, sign, and date it.
    • Email the completed diagnosis confirmation to info@rdrmn.org or fax it to 800-219-6845.
    • Confirm that Red Drop Resources received both the social-worker referral and annual diagnosis confirmation, then wait for reservation confirmation through the social work team.

After your social worker sends it

Confirm that Red Drop Resources received both items and wait for reservation confirmation through the social work team; current unit availability must be reconfirmed.
