Why Fundraise?

Anyone who anticipates uninsured medical expenses related to a catastrophic injury, such as home health care or rehabilitation therapy, should consider fundraising to help offset those expenses.  First year expenses for a catastrophic injury, such as a spinal cord injury, can top $500,000 - more for a severe traumatic brain injury.

Fundraising empowers family, friends, neighbors and community by allowing them to help in a concrete way. While these supporters cannot change a person's medical condition, they will be able to make healing for the patient and their family easier. People want to help - fundraising with HelpHOPELive provides a trusted mechanism for supporters to do so with full confidence.

HelpHOPELive talks with patients and families to determine whether or not fundraising is feasible given their unique circumstances. Each patient seeking assistance must complete a HelpHOPELive application demonstrating financial need.

HelpHOPELive works with community volunteers to tailor a plan to meet either ambitious or modest fundraising goals. We can work with fundraising groups both large and small – even if it is just the patient and a few family members or friends.
