Qualifying for Assistance

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. 

That is why 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.

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. 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.
