Generous guidelines mean more families qualify for NDAD support than they realize.

A common misconception about NDAD is that people assume they make too much money to qualify for assistance. What they don’t realize is that NDAD’s generous contribution guidelines enable countless individuals and families to receive the help they need.

Vicki Frank knows this firsthand. Living with degenerative disc disease and other serious health challenges, Vicki requires regular personal attendant care – a necessity that comes with a steep price tag. “I figured I earned too much money,” admits her husband, Mike. “But at the same time, the cost of care is so high. It never felt like there was enough money for everything we needed.”

That belief almost kept the Franks from seeking help. Fortunately, a friend encouraged Mike to give NDAD a try.

“A friend of mine suggested NDAD was worth a call,” Mike recalls. “I contacted Marsha in the Minot office. The application process was extremely easy, and it didn’t take long to get approved once we had all the right paperwork.”

NDAD offers vital resources that help individuals with health challenges bridge financial gaps in their lives. Through direct financial assistance, medical travel support, healthcare equipment loans and more, NDAD reduces out-of-pocket costs for essential medical needs. This support allows individuals and families to redirect limited income toward other priorities, ultimately increasing their expendable funds and improving overall quality of life. 

For Vicki and Mike, the difference has been life changing.

“NDAD has been so helpful,” Mike says. “They’ve even been able to help with medical supplies. The financial burden has been lightened, and we are so grateful – beyond blessed – to have NDAD in our lives.”

NDAD’s programs are designed to ease financial strain and promote greater independence and well-being for clients and their families.
