PLAN has been great in helping to provide items to make life's challenges easier for Chad. We are able to bring Chad to his doctor appointments and on vacations because they got us an adaptable van. It is a relief to know that PLAN can help us when Chad is in need for medical supplies or even just items for enjoyment.

I truly appreciated him." "PLAN of CT has been wonderful to me. Every person I've spoken to has been kind and understanding.
Whenever I need assistance, they are always right there to help. Their professionalism and proactive responses have helped me immensely. Especially, when I have an emergency situation.
There's no one else I'd trust with, well my... trust fund." "Once I discovered the Pooled Trust it became possible for my brother to remain in his home and receive the benefits he needs.
GREAT PROGRAM, staff is always courteous, friendly and extremely helpful." "I've been working with The Plan of CT for a little over a year. When I first started I had numerous questions and concerns on how the whole process worked.
Everyone at the Plan of CT I encountered not only answered my questions, but did so in a very professional and patient way. Prior to joining the PLAN of CT I had used my own spreadsheet that worked for me to keep track of expenses and payments. Because they welcomed my spreadsheet it saved me significant time not having to learn a new system.
I would highly recommend The PLAN of CT." Whether you are a family or a business, you make the difference to our organization and those we serve by contributing financial support, time and/or expertise. There are various ways to support PLAN of CT.
