​How We Help

Patient and Family Services

LFAC has been lending a helping hand to families in need since 1972. Our non-profit is run by an all-volunteer board with no paid staff. The board members cover their own expenses and also make donations. Since LFAC's inception in 1972:

$1 Million+ has been donated         
12,000+ individuals have been assisted        
36K+ hours have been contributed by an average 8-member, all-volunteer board

We work with hospital social workers to identify families struggling financially.  Regardless of socioeconomic status, a family can encounter great difficulties resulting from high out-of-pocket medical costs, lost time at work, and numerous care-related costs. Often a job is difficult to maintain with frequent doctor visits and hospital stays. Some families travel for hours for treatment and juggle caring for the siblings to keep them in school. ​

​Recent Assistance Provided

• Allowed 9 families to retain their residences by assisting with rent and mortgage payments.
• ​Prevented utility turn-offs for 5 families​
• Promoted treatment maintenance for 11 pediatric leukemia patients by paying transportation-related expenses - insurance, auto repairs, or auto loan payments - which enabled them to maintain scheduled clinic follow-up appointments and outpatient chemotherapy. 

Over 90% of Funding Received by LFAC Goes Directly to Benefit Children and Their Families
