PAF Mission & History
It Starts with the Patient
“Some patients suffer tremendous financial consequences as a result of illness while others begin their journey already disadvantaged by their pre-existing socio-economic circumstances. Whatever the case, we know that the unique needs of vulnerable, low-income patients can be addressed with navigation to critical resources like food, housing, utilities, and transportation.”

Jearlene | Osteoporosis" …to my great relief “Co-Pay Relief” covered the copay. This help has given back to me the hope of many years to come. All the people I have spoken to have handled my case with dignity and respect … I am grateful that CPR is helping me stay alive. "
Betty | Pulmonary Fibrosis" I am so thankful for the co-payment assistance you offered. I was hospitalized, diagnosed with cancer, have been the grateful recipient of eight blood transfusions and just completed round one of chemotherapy. Due to my limited income PAF’s support will definitely help me cover some of the monumental costs as I fight this disease "
Meg Ann | Myelodysplastic Syndrome" It is with enormous gratitude that I accept your most generous donation… this indeed helped offset some expenses, the cost of which seems to rise daily. I take great comfort in knowing that your group is out there to assist those of us who have had the misfortune to fall ill to the mysteries of cancer… God bless your wonderful organization for all that you do for so many people in need. "
Sylvia | Breast Cancer" Your support has given me the opportunity to take the drug to help slow down the progression of my disease (IPF). I could not do this without your support! Thank you! "
Steven | Pulmonary Fibrosis" …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… "
