  2. 600 Employees Say “Thank You” Thank you “I had heard about the Employee Assistance Fund. I was never sure how it worked and never thought I would qualify. Applying and receiving the help after my husband was injured and our home was burglarized was easy and helped our family receive the help we needed. Thank you to everyone who contributes to this fund.” Thank you “We had a lot of financial problems, but calling enabled us to be relieved of a lot of financial problems. They [the EAF] helped us a lot. I really didn’t know which way to turn for help. They were very kind and took a lot of pressure off. They did not judge us for asking for help. This is a wonderful program [and] they are able to help so many people. I would like to thank you once again for being there for us.” Thank you “The burden that this grant lifted from our shoulders helped us to keep seeking the best medical care for my wife so she could regain her independence after a life-threatening crisis. We have such a deep sense of gratitude to everyone who gave to make this grant possible.”
