Welcome to the Nathan Leaf Foundation for Patient Advocacy

I am like you; you are like me.

I am a wife, mother and a caregiver! I am not a medical professional, but I have walked this walk.

Everyone is a caregiver. Whether you have cared for a child, a parent, a friend, co-worker and the list goes on… Our mission is to help those who are struggling with medical situations and are unsure of where to turn. In times of crisis, we know firsthand, you don’t think straight. When you hear the words “Your child has Leukemia”, that is all you hear. Everything else is a blur. My personal, ultimate, long-term mission is to have volunteers accompany patients for critical doctors’ appointments and to help them quickly find relevant, useful information. These individuals will be the eyes and ears, documenting the information for the patient and family to be shared when the individuals when they are able to think straight.

We look forward to assisting you, reading your thoughts and benefiting from your experiences in this journal.

We are here to help.
