Emergency Financial Assistance Program

At the Greater Community AIDS Project of East Central Illinois, we believe everyone deserves access to the resources they need to live a healthy and fulfilling life. However, many people living with HIV/AIDS in our community face unexpected financial hardships that can threaten their well-being and disrupt essential medical care.

This is where our Emergency Financial Assistance Program steps in.

This program provides critical support to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS who are facing immediate financial challenges. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we can help prevent:

• Power shut-offs: Keeping the lights on is essential for maintaining medication storage, refrigeration, and overall well-being.
• Evictions: Stable housing is crucial for managing a chronic illness like HIV/AIDS.
• Missed medical appointments: Transportation assistance ensures people can access life-saving medical care.
• Diaper and formula shortages: For families with children born exposed to HIV, these essentials are vital.

Every dollar you donate directly impacts someone in our community.

Here's how your contribution can make a difference:

• $25: Helps cover the cost of a meal card, ensuring clients have access to healthy, nutritious food
• $60: Provides an annual bus pass so clients are able to attend medical appointments.
• $100: Gives diapers and formula to a child born exposed to HIV
• $200: Can prevent a power shut-off and ensure a safe living environment.
• $500: Provides 14 days of emergency shelter for unhoused clients 

100% of your earmarked donation goes directly to support our Emergency Financial Assistance Program. Your generosity empowers individuals living with HIV/AIDS to maintain crucial medical care and live a healthy life.
