When A Helping Hand Is Needed Most!

Catastrophic illness can strike at any time. Unfortunately, unexpected medical crises are a fact of life. The impact that such events have on a family can be devastating on many levels. While most of us do our best to be prepared for such situations, there are always unplanned expenses and responsibilities that arise. Few are completely ready for such a traumatic and painful event.

Sudden illness demands the utmost emotional strength so that the ill or injured family member is given the necessary support to survive and recover. While our emotional reserves in such difficult circumstances often prove to be deeper than most suspect, financial reserves eventually run out. A sudden illness in a family can be as difficult financially as it is emotionally. During those times of extremes, stress, pain, and hope, Pennies from Heaven is there to help.

Time is not the only factor that will help to minimize the chaos that arises from unexpected medical emergencies. Pennies from Heaven works hard to bring financial and emotional stability back into the lives of families affected by unexpected illness or medical emergencies.

We are a small non-profit charity supported solely by tax-deductible contributions. We locate affected families and offer financial and logistical support to assist them in making the long- and short-term care of their loved one easier.

Even families with comprehensive medical insurance coverage incur many out-of-pocket expenses when dealing with unexpected medical events. The cost of eating out at restaurants, the additional gasoline for repeated trips to the hospital, phone calls to family members and physicians, airfare, etc., can all take a serious financial toll. We'd rather that they were able to focus their attentions on supporting their loved one(s) in need rather than on the stresses of sudden and extensive financial responsibilities.

Supporting sick or injured family members can quickly become a financial as well as emotional hardship. Our financial and logistical assistance helps directly with the former while positively affecting the latter. Pennies from Heaven helps those families caring for those who need it the most.

Pennies from Heaven has four programs that allow us to provide logistical and financial aid to family members going through what all of us dread, but many of us must face – a sudden medical crisis. We rely on the generous assistance of our donors. Please consider donating some ‘pennies’ today.
