Hi [social worker’s name],

Could you send a request to SIH Foundation for us? They offer help with clothing, emergency lodging, meals, prescriptions issued at discharge or service and transportation home, and it has to come from you. Their page is here: https://www.sih.net/giving-back/sih-foundation/how-your-gift-helps/sih-patient-and-community-support-funds/patient-care-fund

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

After your care team sends it

Before leaving the facility, ask the case worker whether assistance is available and what next step or documentation, if any, is needed.
