How And Why To Donate
For those who find it in their hearts that this is a project you would like to be a part of but cannot volunteer, you may want to consider donating.
We are honored that the community has expressed a desire to contribute to our cause of bringing free healthcare to the disadvantaged areas such as Guatemala, India, the Philippines and Africa. Contributions will be used to buy new equipment and medical supplies used in the onsite clinics and to fund volunteer expenses.
We currently own ultrasound equipment, EKGs, lab testing equipment for urinalysis, pathology microscopes, etc. Contributions may be used in the future to purchase more up to date equipment but for now it is not necessary. None of the money will be used to fund payroll as my wife and I receive our own income.
DONATE THROUGH CREDIT CARD OR CRYPTO
In order to make this a simple process, we allow both credit card and crypto currency donations. If you would like to understand some of the benefits of donating through crypto, please look down further on this page.

You have the option of donating in increments of $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, $5000 or $10,000. The Donate with Credit Card button above will take you to the clinic's online dispensary where you can make the donation. Thank you.
CRYPTO CURRENCY
All crypto contributions will be kept in a separate and unique Ledger wallet used expressly for this purpose only. The addresses isare public. We would like to use a monthly newsletter format to update contributors on our progress and results on the care abroad. All purchases (use of the funds) will also be detailed each month where the money was used and how much. This can be verified as the wallet is a public address. I am KYC’d and doxxed on multiple sites and would like this to be completely transparent.
The process for starting a permanent clinic abroad can be long and complicated so in the meantime our desire is to begin trips starting Spring or before of 2023 where we will set up week long temporary clinics multiple times of the year. This will allow us to begin outreach as well as establishing ourselves with the local communities and finding a more permanent location. We would also like to take volunteers with us. These would be week long trips to start and all expenses would be paid for the volunteers. Expenses are defined as travel expenses to and from their country of origin to the clinics, food, healthcare and lodging.
You can use the Ledger addresses above to send your crypto currency donation. We currenlty accept BTC, ETH, USDC and BUSD. Thank you.
ACCEPTING CRYPTO CURRENCY FOR DONATIONS
Reasons to donate using crypto currency
Private foundations and donors have for a long time supported funding charities around the world. Presently, their strength is felt more than ever, with them overtaking many aid bodies and the world’s governments as the biggest nonprofit sector donors.
Since crypto’s early days, people have always seen it as a tool to help developing countries to centralize power and address income inequality. Hence the introduction of cryptocurrency donations to nonprofits. Thus, you can utilize crypto to support a worthy cause that you love. Presently, many nonprofits like Food for Life Global, a hunger relief organization serving freshly cooked vegan meals to school children across the globe, offer crypto donations.
The following are reasons to make crypto donations to charities and ministries. Suppose you wish to donate to projects that accepts crypto, head over to their cryptocurrency donations page to donate easily.
Faster Donation
One primary reason some people prefer donating crypto to charity is the ease of transaction. Crypto donations are faster, cost-effective, and transparent than conventional currencies.
Due to the public nature of blockchain ledger, the money flow is more transparent than traditional currency systems requiring third parties to monitor and intervene in transactions. Thus, with crypto donations, the transaction costs are reduced while saving time.
Low Processing Fees
Due to the low or zero cost of processing crypto transactions, it’s the best method of donating cryptocurrency to charity. Thus, with a crypto donation, more of the funds get to the charities’ mission. More so, when filing their taxes, the nonprofit can classify the received donation under a non-cash gift.
More Secure
Cryptos are fast becoming more secure nowadays. Advanced technical experts are all diverting into the industry and building the needed infrastructure to secure crypto storage.Presently, the insurance industry introduces policies aimed at covering certain losses. That way, would-be donors will have greater peace of mind when contributing with crypto.
Easier to Accept
Cryptocurrency donations are perfect for international projects because it’s easier for them to accept such funds. With an agency handling the cryptocurrency flow, you can easily accept donations from across the globe without fearing banking hold-ups and exchange fees while your monies are being reviewed.
Anonymous Donations
One reason to donate cryptos to charities is the anonymity it provides donors. While there’s accountability with the public ledger, it’s not tied to personal identification. Thus, it helps expand projects’ donor base. Philanthropists wishing to remain anonymous will benefit from this, unlike the traditional method of donating to charities and ministries. Such donors will have to trust the project to keep their identity hidden. Suppose you might not want to donate due to these procedures; contributing with cryptocurrency might help put your mind at ease.
Appeals to Millenials
Charity and ministry cryptocurrency donations appeal to wealthy, tech-savvy demographics, especially Millennials. Many projects entail innovation in support, whether it’s aiding inequalities in educational opportunities, people with disabilities, or economic impoverishment.
