In front of a donation of 14,000 pounds of life-saving healthcare supplies from HERO
Not only do I work for HERO, I believe in it.
I know I said I wasn’t going to write about work, but this is an exception 
HERO collects and redistributes donated healthcare materials (anything from Band-Aids to hospital beds) for our local and global community. By reusing these items, we are helping to keep them out of the landfills. It’s really a triple threat with a local, global and environmental focus. Every day, I see people come into HERO who would not be able to afford the wound care supplies they use daily in order to recover from a surgery. There are people who have health insurance, but it won’t cover the cost for a new walker for another couple months. Without HERO, they would have no options.
Of course, anyone can come to HERO and purchase items. About 50% of customers can pay the suggested handling fee and 50% can not. For the 50% who can not afford these necessary items, donors step in to cover those costs and give the gift of healthcare supplies and equipment.
As we’re beginning the Thanksgiving Season, I reflected on all I have been given. I remember my hardships and the people who stepped in to help me during my fire, depression, and when my tourettes syndrome was at its worst. Then I thought about others and the struggles they face today. What would I do if I ended up in the hospital- needing to pay for wound care supplies each month without having the budget for it? Where would I turn?
This Thanksgiving, I’m asking for your help on behalf of those who use HERO because of their needs. Please consider contributing a gift to help HERO continue to provide life-changing and life-saving supplies to our customers.
My goal is to raise $500 for HERO!
