Who We Serve:

HCI exists to prevent stories like these:

Rosie was diagnosed with breast cancer at 62. She underwent grueling surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. After initial successes, her cancer relapsed in 18 months and had spread to multiple organs. Treatment would have cost her over $50,000, and despite a strong desire to fight her cancer, she was physically incapable of doing so. She did not live long enough to see her granddaughter graduate from high school.

Mary, a colon cancer patient, could not afford her monthly prescriptions, which were essential to keeping her cancer at bay. A co-pay of $1,200 was insurmountable for someone living on a fixed income. She ceased treatment after only two doses due to the high cost.

Rosie, Mary and innumerable others are forced to make devastating decisions because of the skyrocketing costs of medical care. Hope Charity International aims to provide relief.

Hope Charity International has received the Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar - a common format for nonprofits to report on their effectiveness.
