Quotes from clients:
“ The emergency fund has helped me out a lot, especially, when you are on such a tight budget. There are a lot of things I couldn't afford to get on my own. So with the help of the McKinney Fund, I can get the things I need. Thank you so much for all of the help that you have given me over the past years.”

“ The fund has helped me buy things that I would not have been able to purchase with emergency funds from other agencies. Things I have purchased are what I need for everyday living like personal items such as soap, lotion, and detergent.”

“ McKinney Foundation's emergency funds helped me pay for outstanding medical bills that went to a collection agency. I was able to get subsidized housing once my account was paid and I would not have been able to do it without the help of the emergency funds.”

Case Manager Quote:
“ The McKinney Foundation has been essential in providing emergency funds for clients with hardships. This fund is unique because it does not have the boundaries that Ryan White Funds have which only allow clients to use funds for specific necessities. McKinney Foundation emergency funds have helped tremendously with burial funds which are greatly needed. It is comforting to know that when clients have used the funds available to them through Ryan White funds, they can access the McKinney Foundation's emergency funds to help meet their needs.”
