Our Patients

"We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help in the form of monetary assistance that was given to us. Our financial situation is such that without this help it would have been a tremendous hardship and strain on the family to pay for all the bills we have incurred. We are very grateful for your help and support in our time of need. May God bless everybody who was involved in making this possible for us and for so many other people that the Patient Advocate Foundation helps."

"There are not just enough words to express how much I really do appreciate the things that you and your staff has done for me and my family... My prayer is that the Lord will use me to help others as he has used you all to help me and many more."

"Hi,
I've been fighting this cancer since May-04. I was stage III and it really didn't look good. But I put my body & soul in "God's Hands" when they told me surgery or die. I asked him to help me, lead me & guide me thru this. But if he decided to take me, I was willing. It has been a battle, but I try to keep a positive outlook on it.

I don't like many pictures being made of me. I try to think I look like I used to look. I've had lots of support & prayers from churches & people I don't know.

Your help has been a blessing. I'd like to had more & have it all paid. But I'm so grateful & thankful for this.

Thank you again-"

"To All Employees:
My personal thoughts have been very scattered since February 7, 2005 when a Pulmonologist told my wife I had Stage 3 Non-Small lung cancer. This information was a telephone call taken by my wife. With tears and great sobs, she put her arms around me and told me the diagnosis. I told her to stop crying, it would be okay, while my whole world turned upside down.

... The bright spots in these 21 months have been my wife's constant caring and support and a most generous and grateful financial aid of $2,500.00 from your organization. It mattered so much that you helped me financially when it was so needed.

It's often said that the two words "Thank You" seem so insignificant for an act that was so appreciated, but, nothing takes the place of these two words, so, I'm saying to you "Thank You"."
