We are committed to continue, “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” throughout Southern New Jersey. Requests for patient assistance have more than doubled in the past few years. We continue to strive in providing assistance to patients who are unable to work due to debilitating illness and must make such difficult choices as whether to pay for their treatment or to pay recurring daily expenses such as rent and utilities. Facing eviction or having to make the choice of putting food on the table or paying for medicines and treatments is a terrible dilemma to face for these critical patients. Our mission is to help them through this difficult period.
