Our Assistance Program
WeAreAlive™ provides various services to individuals in the areas of; limited assistance for medical co-pays, living expenses, referrals to other resources & educational programs, etc. WeAreAlive™ is unique in the aspect that it works with its recipients through their existing social workers from other agencies, whether governmental, charitable or private agencies. WeAreAlive™ attempts to provide assistance for needs that other agencies do not provide or have the funds to provide. WeAreAlive™ is, so to speak, an umbrella agency over other agencies. If a recipient does not have a social worker WeAreAlive™ will assist in finding one. If a social worker can not be found, then WeAreAlive™ will handle the case through a physician's referral letter. For cities and areas that WeAreAlive™ covers, please see "Areas Of Assistance" below.

| AREAS OF ASSISTANCE
BASIS FOR AREAS OF ASSISTANCE: WeAreAlive™ does not receive any government funds. The areas of assistance (by cities, counties & states) depends on various factors, such as; where fundraisers are held and where contributors are from and where funds are designated to be used. Since the volunteers for WeAreAlive™ are all from the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas area, that is where the mainstream of fundraisers are held and where known contacts for contributors reside.
AREAS WHERE ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE: Currently funds are only available for the San Antonio Metropolitan Area (Bexar County & the smaller cities/areas of neighboring counties).
FUTURE OUTLOOK: It has been the goal of WeAreAlive™ to provide assistance on a national level and hopefully WeAreAlive™ will be able to do so again as we build a volunteer base outside of the San Antonio, Texas area.
