After months of treatment and being unable to work, he became ALICE and needed help landing back on his feet and staying there. Thankfully, people like you provided life-changing support to assist families like David’s. It was that support that allowed him and his family to successfully go through his medical treatment and stay afloat during these difficult times. -
