"Words cannot express how grateful I am to the PAF for all the help I received. On the day I received the call from my PAF case manager I was so worried and overwhelmed, I struggled with the answers to very simple questions. She was very patient, professional and caring but firm, she didn't give-up on me. I was encouraged by her positive and fast response to my financial situation."
"First of all, I want to thank you and your foundation for the help you have been to me. I don't think I would have gotten the approval from my insurance company without your help. This would not have been possible at this time without your help. My prayers have been answered, and I am eternally grateful to you, and the PAF."
"I was feeling overwhelmed, depressed, worried about bills, food, etc. After speaking with my case manager, she helped me to understand that there is help out there for me and that I can get through this. My mind was put at ease by her gentle and understanding voice."
