"Without your help we couldn't have the treatments to get my husband his chemo treatment because we could not pay our deductible. We are so grateful."
"My dad suffered a massive cardiac arrest and open heart surgery was recommended due to my dad’s age. A non-invasive way to mitigate my dad’s condition and reduce the enlargement of his heart to help improve his quality of life was presented. This option was not approved by my family’s insurance provider. This organization understands compassionate advocacy in a way that hospitals and insurance companies sadly do not. What a weight lifted to know my father can have this surgery and get to spend more good years with his wife, kids, and grandkids."
"My PAF advocate spoke with billing and had information sent to me to get help with my medical bills. She also connected me to a resource that could assist me with getting my medications at a lesser cost.”
