HOW
DOES SOMEONE REQUEST ASSISTANCE?
To get help for a person
with AIDS simply contact any Tuesdays Angel. They will see that the appropriate
directors are notified. Upon receiving the request for assistance, it is
assigned to a Director to investigate. Tuesdays Angels requires the attending
physician to attest that the client has full-blown AIDS. If it appears to be a
legitimate request, funding will then be considered by a quorum of Directors.
Most of the requests are of an emergency nature. Funding is made available in a
short period of time, often the same day. Tuesdays Angels has developed a
network of other available resources. After providing financial assistance to
clients, the Angels also aid individuals in getting assistance elsewhere in the
network.
