"PAF were literally lifesaving, and they did it with courtesy and compassion. They are really are on your side."
“Your grant is a tremendous help towards reliving my financial burden. You can be assured I will excel and give back to others, ensuring the best use of the scholarship.” -Yosef G., Major: Religious Studies
"I’m 66 years old and I was diagnosed with stage IV bone metastasized prostate cancer in July of 2014. I have been through Chemotherapy, Radiation and number of chemotherapy oral drugs. My doctor has told me that he has run out of options. I found a new hospital and they had a lot of treatment options and was able to help me with resources to help me cover the cost of treatment. PAF was one of the resources, they helped me fill out the application and was able to tell me right away they were able to give assistance with copays. This new found treatment and assistance from PAF gave me and my family new hope to keep up the fight on cancer."
