Our patient stories demonstrate that Pay It Forward is about far more than easing a financial burden.  When your life or your loved one’s life is at stake, these acts of kindness – payment of water bill, a heating bill or a mortgage - aren’t small moments. These are moments that can last a lifetime. 


"Thanks to all their volunteers and those that donate, we didn't have to worry about keeping our kids in our house or food on the table. They just aren't paying a bill, they are giving you peace of mind, breathing room, time to think, a moment to relax, doubt removed; if only for a moment.

Those are the things that you need while you are battling cancer. Because cancer doesn't care if you are a mother of two and you don't have time to "fight" with it. Pay It Forward Fund took away some of my stress, and when you are fighting cancer, that is a really hard thing to do! Thank you again; that really doesn't seem like enough to say, but those are the only words I have"

"I couldn't believe there was an organization that might help ease our financial burden as we concentrated on getting well.  When we received the notice in the mail both my husband and I exhaled a deep breath.  Thank you.  You've made this difficult path with all the things to think about much, much easier."

"Pay It Forward was a GODSEND!  We had the health insurance, but it didn’t cover everything.  When we received the $1,800 bill from the radiation oncologist, we had no idea where the money was going to come from to pay it.  Then we learned about Pay It Forward.  I almost cried when I got the call saying we were accepted, and $1500 would go toward paying off that bill.  I don’t know how we would have done it without that fund."

"Breast cancer came as such a surprise, as I'm sure it does for everyone who has had to live through it.  No one can be prepared for the bills that start coming through from all of the tests.  Even with insurance, there are still co-pays and with cancer, those co-pays add up quickly.  Some tests were denied by insurance initially and we were extremely concerned about how we would be able to pay our bills. We felt so fortunate that Pay It Forward selected our request to help with our mortgage payment.  Your generosity helped us through a time when you should only be worried about getting well, not worried about bills.  Thank you from our whole family!"
