Grant Testimonial #1

“Thank you for the swift approval of a generous grant to help offset some of my medical expenses and travel/related costs.  It is so greatly appreciated. Such an unexpected act of generosity humbles me and renews my faith that there are wonderful people and organizations who are reaching out to others in their time of need. It is with a grateful heart that I, a stranger, am expressing the profound honor I feel having such an incredible kindness shown to me. 

You cannot imagine how helpful this is for me.”

Grant Testimonial #2

Her late stage 3 diagnosis was only one of many challenges our client faced before connecting with us. Transportation to treatments, proper medical equipment, and non-covered medication were roadblocks that prevented her from focusing on getting better.

Thanks to our NACF community we were able to provide her with a grant so that she did not have to worry IF she could monitor her temperature as per doctors' orders or make important appointments. The tight squeeze in her hug showed us just how much our efforts meant to her.
