Testimonials

“I live in a mobile home that I own. I had been working part time but chemo required me to leave my job. This funding has enabled me to refinance my car bringing my payment down [so I can afford it]. I thank you so very much. With great respect.”

Testimonials

“My husband did not have any vacation days so every hour, every day he took off work to come with me to treatment was without pay. This caused much stress in our household, as we both worried about extra medical costs and had to justify him taking off every time he went to appointments with me. Cancer is devastating to the entire family. Thank you to PIFF. You made a huge difference in my recovery by taking care of some of the financial obligations.”
