When it comes to cancer treatment, Brock Yetso, president and CEO of the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults will tell you that nearby housing is critical. However, the average cost for lodging in Baltimore the 100 required days after receiving a bone transplant is a staggering $10,000.
This financial burden has served as a barrier for multiple young adults seeking treatment at Baltimore’s top-notch hospitals…until now.
Last Friday, the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults (UCF) officially broke ground on its largest project to date—building The UCF House.
Spanning six row homes in East Baltimore, the House will provide free lodging and a supportive community for young adult cancer patients.
In its front page feature on the development, the Baltimore Sun shed light on the lack of attention and resources available to young adults battling cancer, and explained how The UCF House and the Ulman Cancer Fund is working to change that.
