Such expenses may include medical, dental, hospitalization, rehabilitation, transportation, insurance co-payments, and other healthcare related items.



Applications for support should be in the form of a concise letter noting circumstances together with a list of expenses incurred. The letter should be submitted by the individual (Realtor) or their care-giver. A request for a specific dollar amount should be included with information regarding what medical expenses the money will be used to offset.
