Crowdfunding: An Easy Way to Fund Your Medical Needs
What is Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a simple way to raise money by getting small contributions from many people online. With ImpactGuru, you can start a crowdfunding campaign in minutes and receive donations from friends, family and even strangers.
How Crowdfunding Helps You
Telling about your financial needs face-to-face can be difficult. With online crowdfunding, getting financial help is much easier. The funds raised help you cover expensive medical costs on time, ensuring your treatment isn’t delayed.
No Repayment Stress
Loans and borrowing can cause stress about returning the money. It may take months or even years to repay the borrowed funds. However, crowdfunding comes without any debt as there is no need to pay the raised money back.
The Impact of Medical Crowdfunding
In no time, we were able to reach out to our friends, family and other people. I wouldn’t have been able to get my daughter’s surgery done without the help of fundraising.
When everyone had given up on us, ImpactGuru held our hand. They have been nothing short of a blessing for giving our little baby another chance to live. Thanks to the donors as well.
The doctors told us about crowdfunding. The fundraising video made by ImpactGuru helped us a lot. Thanks to the donors who supported us, my daughter's health has improved significantly.
With the support of everyone who assisted us, my daughter is now sitting beside me. I express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to my daughter’s recovery journey.
After Zolgensma, it feels like Teera has been born again and her real life has just begun. Everyone in our family can think about her future now.
My kidney transplant was made possible by the generous donors on ImpactGuru. My friends, family and so many strangers came forward to support me. Words won’t be enough to express my gratitude.
Just like my daughter received her treatment, I hope everyone's child is blessed with this fortune. Thank you so much for helping us during the tough times.
When we needed to raise funds for a dear friend, we turned to the ImpactGuru platform. Thanks to ImpactGuru, we were able to make a real difference when it mattered the most.
