"You were most kind and courteous and helped me greatly with my expenses traveling to the hospital and to other facilities."

“Thanks so much for your help. It meant so much to end the sleepless nights and not worry with these rent and medical debt situations. So once again thank you PAF from the bottom of my heart.”

“I am a widow living only on my Social Security. Your staff members were kind and helpful - I don’t know what I would have done without you! PAF’s service made it possible for me to receive my medication. I will be glad to let people know about the Co-Pay Relief Program. You have given me a chance to go on.”

"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."

"My experience with PAF has been both an informative and pleasurable experience. I like the way that PAF offers to help a person by offering help via email since I am at work and do not have access to my phone during work time. PAF is a very caring and understandable place and I am glad that I contacted PAF."
