The PNH Patient Travel Assistance Fund, located in Jber, AK, is dedicated to empowering U.S. residents diagnosed with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) by alleviating the financial burden of travel for essential medical care. We understand that accessing specialized treatment is crucial, which is why we provide up to $800 in annual travel assistance to support patients seeking consultations with PNH specialists or obtaining second opinions. Our funds can be utilized for a variety of expenses, including airfare, train tickets, ground transportation, lodging, meals, and even medical co-pays that may not be covered by insurance. We believe no patient should have to navigate their health journey alone, and therefore, we encourage grantees to travel with one companion, making this experience more manageable and supportive. Our mission is to ensure that patients have the resources they need to prioritize their health and well-being without financial strain.
