After spending decades working physically demanding jobs in Inkster, North Dakota, Mike Salinas began experiencing serious health challenges. Ongoing knee pain, back problems, high blood pressure, and a heart condition led to frequent medical appointments and mounting expenses. 

In 2023, Mike learned about NDAD and discovered that NDAD could help with more than he initially thought. 

NDAD assisted Mike with prescriptions, gas cards, and medical supplies through their Financial Assistance Program. The support eased the financial burden of managing multiple health conditions and reduced the stress of covering necessary medical expenses. 

“NDAD helped me get rid of a lot of stress,” Mike said.  

Mike encourages others facing health-related expenses to reach out and see what resources may be available. 

“Go ahead and apply,” he said. “There are many different programs for different people.”
