Qualifying for Assistance

As the newest member of the Spare Key team, I have hit the ground running! It has been a whirlwind of learning and collaborating with every minute of my day. As I continue to learn more about Spare Key and Help Me Bounce each day, I am more and more proud to be a part of it all!

Working at Spare Key has been invigorating for me. It’s a powerful force, representing an organization whose mission is to help families during their most challenging times. As Spare Key’s Help Me Bounce Program Coordinator, I work with families and medical professionals across the country. Help Me Bounce connects families in need with donors that want to help alleviate the financial stress that follows a medical crisis. And it’s my job to ensure families have the tools and resources to set up their campaigns and share their stories with donors across the nation.

Spare Key’s mission is personal for me. I have gone through my own medical crises and wish I had known about the Help Me Bounce Program during those times. If my family had been able to focus all our attention on our recovery rather than worry about how to pay our bills, it would have been life changing.

My goal is to reach more families in need and ensure those families better understand the steps to apply for aid and help them publish their story so they can “Be Found” by donors that want to help.

My first step to accomplishing this goal is through the Help Me Bounce Blog.

In my time here at Spare Key, I’ve been encouraged to dive in headfirst into learning the Help Me Bounce platform. Through this research, I’ve run reports, investigated analytics, and discovered insightful takeaways to help more families. First and foremost, I’ve found that there are common questions that come up in my daily conversations with families and medical professionals, but we currently don’t have a resource to direct these individuals for step-by-step tutorials that answer their questions!

This is what my blogs will focus around: Commonly asked questions and step-by-step answers to guide families through the application process.

Although these articles may not be the most exciting for everyone, I do hope they’re used to make applying for aid easier for our families. This is my first time ever blogging and to have the freedom to write about what I find important is truly inspiring. My goal is to provide a place where we continually evolve and improve our platform with the material and information I collect working first-hand with our families.

To kick off the Help Me Bounce Q&A Series, I wanted to start where every applicant starts:
