Help hope live
By joining the green team, you'll be fighting to raise money for Help Hope Live!
Help Hope Live believes that a medical crisis shouldn't become a financial burden. Even with health insurance, a medical crisis can create a significant financial burden most families cannot meet alone. For 40 years, Help Hope Live has been showing clients and families how to bring together a network of relatives, friends, and neighbors in fundraising efforts to help cover the cost of uninsured medical expenses. These efforts play a critical role in helping their clients recover and maintain their health and independence. Since 1983, they have helped thousands of people raise millions of dollars for Help Hope Live to pay a wide range of expenses, including out-of-pocket costs for: medications, durable medical equipment, home health care, wheelchair-accessibility modifications, physical therapy, innovative treatments, medical travel and temporary relocation, even emergency living assistance. Their program has also helped thousands pay it forward and assist others with their medical expenses. Annually, they help place medical care within reach of about 5,600 families across the nation.
