Help Me Bounce
We Help Families Bounce & Not Break. Together.
Harnessing the Power of Crowdfunding to Connect Thousands of Families Directly to Donors.
Our Purpose
We believe that every family should be given the gift of time to be with their loved one during a medical crisis. By providing the support they need to pay their major bills, we are able to provide that time and peace of mind so that family members can stay by their loved one's side.
Families apply for aid on Help Me Bounce and are approved based on our program guidelines. To begin their campaign, families create funding goals indicating what they are raising money for, for how much, and for how long.
