My Nonprofit Reviews

As a single semi-retired woman, I have to make sure I save for taxes, insurance plus pay my monthly bills. Last year my out-of-pocket was $5,500 and one of my cancer drugs is a Tier 5 drug and I had a co-pay around $625 every 3 weeks. Being diagnosed with ovarian cancer was difficult enough worrying about treatment and how I would respond to treatment let alone how to pay the co-pays. With help from UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, I applied for a grant from the PAN Foundation. I received a grant for $3,700 that helped me cover the out-of-pocket costs I was incurring. This was a God send to me. I applied again this year since my co-pay is now $4,500 and received another grant for $3,250. I don't know how I would have been able to manage this without the PAN Foundation. They are truly a wonderful organization. I am so grateful!
