Emergency Fund
We're helping you today for tomorrow.
The Brain Injury Association of Arizona's (BIAAZ) Emergency Fund assists people
with brain injuries and their families with limited financial support. Currently, we can
grant a maximum of $250 per person per year. You must demonstrate a need for a
service or be at risk for harm if the service is not obtained.
The Emergency Fund may assist with:
. A past due amount for rent or mortgage expenses, including late fees
. Medications and co-pays
. A past due amount for utilities
. Emergency dental or medical supplies
. Assistive technology or durable medical equipment purchase or repairs
. Groceries
. Vision evaluations, devices, or aides
The Emergency Fund can't assist with:
. Vehicle repairs
. Cable bills
