FRIENDS OF MAN
Description
FRIENDS OF MAN GIVES HELP TO PEOPLE WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO TURN. IT MAY BE AN ELDERLY PERSON ON A FIXED INCOME, A WORKING FAMILY WHOSE CHILD IS STRUCK BY SEVERE ILLNESS, AN ACCIDENT VICTIM, A DISABLED PERSON, OR A SCHOOLCHILD WHOSE FAMILY CAN'T AFFORD BASIC NEEDS. THE KIND OF HELP GIVEN DEPENDS ON THE NEED. THIS FLEXIBILITY ALLOWS FRIENDS OF MAN THE ABILITY TO HELP WHERE OTHER RESOURCES CANNOT. FOR THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE OF COLORADO, FRIENDS OF MAN CAN CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING NEEDS: PROSTHESES, WHEELCHAIRS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND MOBILITY EQUIPMENT. REFERRING PROFESSIONALS (HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL WORKERS, CLERGY, COUNSELORS, ETC.) SUBMIT APPLICATIONS ON BEHALF OF PEOPLE IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE. APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED ONLY FROM REFERRING PROFESSIONALS. FRIENDS OF MAN CAREFULLY CONSIDERS ALL REQUESTS, AND IF THE APPLICATION IS APPROVED, FRIENDS OF MAN PAYS A VENDOR FOR THE NEEDED ITEMS OR SERVICES. THE DISBURSEMENT COMMITTEE MEETS EVERY WEEK TO CONSIDER REQUESTS, SO AS SOON AS ALL INFORMATION AND ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, THE CASE IS PRESENTED. THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE AS LITTLE AS A WEEK. FRIENDS OF MAN DOES NOT HELP WITH RENT, UTILITIES, DEPOSITS, OR ANY PAST BILLS.
