Impact

HelpHOPELive has helped thousands of patients, families and communities nationwide raise nearly $80 million for out-of-pocket transplant and injury-related expenses.

96 cents of every dollar raised through HelpHOPELive fundraising campaigns helps to pay for patients critical but uninsured medically related needs.

Impact Study

In June 2008, HelpHOPELive (formerly NTAF) conducted a survey of our patients and their caregivers to gauge our program's effectiveness.  All responses were collected and reviewed by the independent evaluation group we retained to assist us in this endeavor, the Center for Outcome Analysis.

The results we received were quite favorable, with the majority of both patients and caregivers reporting a great improvement in 29 different quality of life categories.

What Patients and Caregivers Had to Say About NTAF (now HelpHOPELive)

"Having a nonprofit fundraising avenue (like NTAF) eases the financial management and ensures trust for people who donate to my cause. Thank you for providing the NTAF option."

"Everyone at NTAF is eager to assist you with whatever you may need. They are so attentive to your needs and do their best to set you at complete peace with assurance that all will turn out well. I knew my funds raised were in good hands."

"I can't say enough good things about NTAF, just providing the opportunity is so important. Not feeling like you have any good options can be the most draining of situations in tough times. Human perseverance needs an outlet."

"Fundraising had a major impact on my family. We worked together to raise money and NTAF took care of the rest."

"They made a huge difference. They allowed me to have my transplant and be able to pay bills for a little over a year without worry."

"You have been a godsend."

"I was able to receive money very quickly to help continue to pay some bills that would show up at the last minute. NTAF gave me the financial security knowing that I could send in my receipts and know that within two weeks I would have money. Thank You."

"NTAF made it easier to fundraise because it gave our donors assurance that their donations were tax deductible and that the funds would only be used for our medical needs."

" NTAF gave me information and ideas for ways to be able to help lighten my own burdens. I needed some direction, and they helped me."
