"Helpful, pleasant, informative and considerate... I felt hopeless, abandoned and your foundation gave me the willpower to continue."
"My case manager did an excellent job in helping me resolve my issue allowing me access to my medication. I believe having PAF call did so much more than what I was to achieve."
“I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancerous tumors in my brain and my lung, all terminal. For several months, until my coverage kicked in, I had no insurance. The bills skyrocketed and with chemo and radiation treatment I could barely think straight. My PAF case manager was an angel who walked me patiently through the time-consuming application process, never wavering in her efforts. I can’t find enough words to thank her.”
