Cheers & Acclamations from Our Clients

“Champion Advocates has “championed” our cause and have been persistent and effective “advocates” as we have dealt with a variety of issues. These have included insurance coverage  issues, finding a new and more appropriate care home, and purchasing special equipment for my father - which required challenging negotiations with the supplier and the insurance provider.
In short, they know the ropes. They know the system and were able to guide me through these situations with a minimum of fuss and red tape. I will continue to use the invaluable services of Champion Advocates and can recommend them without reservation to others who find themselves experiencing similar trying times.”
-Sandy a family caregiver in Humboldt County

“I cannot tell you how much your help to my Mom and Dad has meant to me during the last few weeks. Even though I was on a road trip with my husband to see our daughter and her family, I was in touch with Mom every day, and I know how much your presence meant to her. My brother and I are very grateful, and I personally thank you from the bottom of my heart!!”
- Marcia a long distance caregiver from San Mateo County, California

“Dear Champions, I do appreciate all you do and have done for us. I know we would have no hope at all if it weren’t for “Champions.” You are extremely compassionate and caring - which is so obvious.”
- Joan a long distance caregiver from Ventura County, California
 

“Thank you so much for the written summary, and for all of your help. Your help was incredibly important and your support meant a great deal to us - family is one thing, but help and support from professionals was huge.”
- Susan a family caregiver in Humboldt County, California

“Thanks for the good work with all my brother’s benefits - I don't know how we would ever navigate the system or systems without you.”
- Paddy a long distance caregiver from Vancouver, Canada

“Filling out all the paperwork for social services was overwhelming and we were concerned with the possibility of signing away our rights. We called Champion Advocates and they arranged to meet with us immediately to look over the paperwork. They took the time to listen and even did follow-up research to fully answer all our questions.

Champion Advocates has tirelessly worked with us to discover and secure multiple sources of financial aid. Above all, they helped sustain us through this difficult season with their caring and supportive attitude, as well as continual encouragement to not give up in these often trying circumstances. We feel very fortunate that we had Champion Advocates’ services and we are convinced that we would not have the coverage we now have without their expertise.”
- M&E in Humboldt County, California
