FAQs

Anyone can start a campaign by submitting an initial request through the Request Help option. You’ll share basic details about the medical need, timeframe, health insurance, and support network.

You’ll also provide your name, phone number, email, and state so we can follow up and determine whether Help Hope Live is the right fit.

If you move forward, an authorized person—such as the client, spouse, parent of a minor child, power of attorney, or legal guardian—will complete the full application. This includes more detailed information about the diagnosis and medical provider, financial and household situation, and any authorized team members who will help manage the campaign.

We work with clients, their families, and volunteers to provide a framework to launch a fundraising campaign in the client’s community, helping:

  • Establish a volunteer network
  • Write appeal letters for community circulation
  • Provide step-by-step instructions for fundraising events
  • Design flyers for events
  • Provide media support and more

We provide support via email and phone for all of your in-person and online fundraising efforts over the lifetime of the campaign.

Contact us Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm ET.

Fundraising with Help Hope Live is free for clients. 

For check donations, a 3% administrative fee is deducted from donations to help cover the cost of providing personalized 1-1 support, tools, and resources that help campaigns succeed.

For online donations, including credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers, a 2.65% third-party processing fee applies. The total fee for online donations is 5.65%.

Donors can choose to cover these fees when they give.

Help Hope Live is a nonprofit fundraising solution designed specifically for medical needs. Unlike for-proft plaftorms like GoFundMe, we provide one-on-one fundraising support, require medical verification for every campaign, and can pay medical bills and related expenses directly when possible. Donations are tax deductible to donors, and we offer the greatest possible protection for asset-based benefits (Always check with your Medicaid/benefits office to be sure).
