"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 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.”
"My case manager was a blessing. He was able to speak with Medicare on our behalf and get my father enrolled in Medicare 3 months early. Now my dad can finally go to the best cancer facilities in Arizona!"
