Crowdfunding Medical Care Even When They Have Health Insurance

Many people feel that crowdfunding for medical care is questionable.
I got calls and emails about this all the time. Many believe that crowdfunding is being used instead of insurance. For example, instead of having life insurance to pay for funeral and expenses that are created around someone’s death, the people go and crowdfund.

Instead of having health insurance, people crowdfunding for medical care. I want to bring attention to the individuals who have health insurance and still need help. I am talking about individuals who are no longer working because of their health and need help paying the doctor visit co-pay. I am talking about people who are not working and have trouble paying health insurance premiums. There are people whose medications cost hundreds of dollars. They can get well. However, if they do not have enough in their budget, they may eat a lot less. Poor nutrition is the enemy of healing. To get healthy, you need your medicine and good, healthy meals.
I am working with Celebrate Life Cancer Ministry to provide for a few families in Los Angeles facing these exact problems. Rhonda Santifer who founded Celebrate Life Cancer Ministry has identified people in need.

“I get calls every week,” says Santifer. “They ask for help and resources to just get to the doctor for their follow ups or treatments.”
Going to the emergency room is not an option for regular cancer treatment. The emergency room is for sudden illness. Celebrate Life Cancer Ministry is raising money to help people get healthy again by making sure they can get to their doctor’s visits. You can help by giving $2.50 a day for 30 days.

We’ve also got some great goodies for those who give!

Book: Women Want More: How to Capture Your Share of the World?s Largest Growing Marketing
Authors: Michael Silverstein and Kate Sayre


The authors spent more than two years researching what women want. What they want for themselves, their families, and friends. This book is about how your company can develop and market their products and services to serve the wants and needs of the world?s most demanding consumers- women.
The authors explain how education has created a revolutionary opportunity, especially in Brazil, Russia, India and China- the BRIC countries. Throw that around at your next cocktail party and see how smart you sound! Sharing the details on how the female economy holds a VAST potential for wealth, this books takes you a journey of their surveys and findings. They say Gerber, Banana Republic, Ecute, Harpo, and Hanier know how to serve women well. They follow a set of practices called Recognize, Research, Respond, and Refine.

They also outline the areas a company can do well in; Food, Fitness, Beauty, Apparel, Financial services and Healthcare. The archetypes set forth by the authors reflect diversity, which is good because they are sitting information from women all over the world. The conclusion that women are stressed, time-pressured and money tight is just the beginning. Frankly, you don?t need 2 years of research to know that. You do need to read this book to learn about the areas of serious dissatisfactions for women and how some companies have taken those areas and created a market. Even if you do not plan on selling things that fall into the categories I mentioned, the information from this book can help you and your business. By taking the principles and understanding how to solve women?s problems, you will get their business. In learning how to serve them you will keep their business. If you plan on marketing outside America, use this book to get some perspective. This book is just over 300 pages, so plan some time to really read it.
