We know that when you donate to support our mission, you may not always see the direct impact of those dollars. And as a member of the Help Hope Live community, you may not realize how your efforts spark change and inspire action in others.
That’s why we’ve put together this post–to show friends like you how you make a positive difference, every single day, by being part of the Help Hope Live family. Your time and effort added up to some big numbers with huge impact in Fiscal Year 2016.
Last year, you helped:
Launch 732 new medical fundraising campaigns
Provide $9.3 million to help cover vital medical and related expenses
Support the needs of 1,400 patients and families facing the most difficult challenge of their lives: a lifesaving transplant or a life-changing catastrophic injury or illness.
But you didn’t stop there…
You also helped:
Crush 4,942 medical fundraising goals
Plan 550 gatherings of hope nationwide
Inspire 2,451 words of gratitude
Provide 57 emergency assistance grants to help families avoid an immediate medical crisis
Honor 25 loved ones’ legacies, and
Joined a community of 3,224 empowered and compassionate friends and neighbors
Families across the country felt the tangible impact. 16 Help Hope Live patients reported finding a “new normal” after a devastating medical crisis altered their lives.
“Thanks to so many wonderful people, my family and I have reached our Help Hope Live goal for my double lung transplant recovery. We have no idea what the future will bring, but hopefully, I will continue getting stronger every day. I cherish breathing.”
Bob Wollenberg, Great Lakes Lung Transplant Fund
10 patients reached a major independence milestone after a catastrophic injury, from going to college to driving and living independently.
“Alex’s physical therapy sessions are two hours and he enjoys every minute of it! He loves traveling wherever his [new] vehicle takes him.” He is pictured below with wife, Marina: “A new chapter is beginning for two deserving young people who have overcome so much.”
Alex Paul, Northeast Spinal Cord Injury Fund
To us, these aren’t just numbers. They are symbols of hope in the midst of extremely challenging circumstances.
When you engage with Help Hope Live as a donor, patient, or volunteer, you are shouting hope from the rooftops. You are refusing to let a medical crisis dominate the course of a life. You are defying the negative noise the world throws at you by taking a stand for strong, loving communities and life-changing new beginnings. You are telling someone, “You matter. Your voice is heard. Your story is my story, too.”
That’s what it really means to help hope live. Never stop: the world needs you, and so do we.
Keep hope alive in 2017!
