4Petesake Financial Assistance Summary

4PeteSake offers financial assistance to residents from the River Valley School District who find themselves in circumstances, through no fault of their own, for which assistance is needed. To date, all recipients have had medically related needs and this has become a focus of the organization. However, applicants experiencing other types of catastrophic circumstances are eligible.

The primary goal of assistance is to relieve financial stress so recipients can focus on healing. 4PeteSake assistance is intended to cover the applicant’s basic needs. Examples include but are not limited to: mortgage payments, car payments, household expenses due to loss of work, medical expenses, etc.

In addition to financial assistance, 4Petesake may be able to work with the recipient(s) to coordinate additional services and negotiate with insurance companies, medical providers and other creditors.

4Petesake is run by a 9-member, unpaid, volunteer group. The independent committee is part of the public outreach program of Christ Lutheran Church, which gives 4PeteSake access to their 501(c)3 status, allowing contributions to be tax-deductible.

4Petesake’s Mission: 4Petesake is organized for the purpose of providing relief to distressed River Valley residents in the form of assistance to persons with extraordinary financial needs who are unable, through no fault of their own, to provide for themselves. For example, 4Petesake’s purpose may be fulfilled by providing assistance to persons who have extraordinary medical needs related to a disability or condition.
