It Starts with the Patient
“High quality healthcare is not just about treatment; it’s about a care plan that considers challenges to daily life – transportation, housing, food security, employment, childcare and self-care.”

" More people need to know about this program with income brackets like mine. It’s gotten to the point where we can’t afford it. [Your staff] is very pleasant and helpful always… "
Gregory | Asthma" There are not enough words in the dictionary to express my sincere appreciation for the financial assistance you are providing me… I will never forget your kindness. "
Sally | Myelodysplastic Syndrome" Please accept this letter as an expression of my sincere appreciation for the much-needed assistance that your organization has rendered on my behalf. Who would have thought there are still such caring and professional individuals assisting others in need today! "
Rudolph | HIV, AIDS & Prevention" Thank you ever so much for all you help! "
Edmond | Bladder Cancer" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "
Ray | Multiple Myeloma" …PAF helps people obtain much needed medications for their illnesses…I was so happy and relieved to receive this generous grant. Having a life threatening disease is stressful enough, but the relief of this financial burden is truly a blessing… "
