Healthy People is a charitable 501c3 agency assisting eligible low-income and uninsured people with referrals for assistance and with gifts and short-term loans/grants supporting a variety of health needs including:
· Payment for office visits and help with co-pays or deductibles You can help cover co-pays and visits for an uninsured person with chronic illnesses. Healthy People supports with payments of co-pays for more than thirty individuals so far in 2024.
· Payment of xray or lab costs You can help pay for xrays for a patient with no insurance coverage. Healthy People has arrangements with a local imaging company and laboratory to provide very low or no cost xrays and labs for people in need, subsidized by Healthy People. (More than thirty people helped so far in 2024.)
· Assistance with durable medical equipment or supplies By giving to Healthy People, you can help get diapers for a special needs child - so he can attend school. Or help a unemployed man at the end of his funds get a much needed knee brace.
· Assistance with medicines or special diet needs Your gift to Healthy People can help get medicines for a grandmother on a fixed income with high co-pays. Or help a person without any current income get needed insulin. January 2024- HP helped 2 families (a grandmother in a wheelchair with her daughter, son and 2 grandchildren and her sister- also a grandmother and her husband with their 5 children under 15 and 3 grandchildren) who were sharing a 1 bedroom duplex for three months with no working vehicle. These 15 people were crammed into a very tiny space and ran out of food. There was an ice storm and the walk to the nearest food store - a Dollar Tree, was more than a mile away. Healthy People volunteers set out to deliver food and medicine but were stopped by the ice on the streets the first two attempts. The volunteers did not give up and on the third effort (in a different borrowed vehicle with four-wheel drive) the volunteers managed to get to the families with the medicine (diabetes) and food for several meals. Thank you to the volunteers and thank you to those who give to Healthy People!
· Assistance with utility bills and housing You can help cover gas bills during cold snaps. Healthy People makes direct payment to utilities in multiple jurisdictions. You can help people who are unhoused get in where it is safe: A fellow on disability who was homeless- Healthy People helped find a subsidized apartment (unfurnished) and provided a new mattress and bedding, recycled cookware, table and chair so he doesn't sleep and eat on the floor.Another homeless family (with two early elementary school age boys) - Helped by Healthy people get into an apartment and out of the cold by helping with the deposit and first month's rent as well as groceries. If you are in need, please contact Healthy People or the Doc Shop to see if you are eligible for direct financial assistance or if there may be other forms of help available.
In the past year Healthy People KC has assisted individuals in need of help with utilities and rent, clothing, xrays, transportation, medicine, work tools, food and diapers. Thank you for your donations that sustain the work to help our neighbors!
