We need the government and key stakeholders, including funders of research and innovation, to act to help improve diagnosis, treatment, and save lives.

Join Us in Making a Difference: Support the Kango Community Free Medical Outreach In just a few weeks, Untold Story Behind the Story Foundation will be conducting a vital free medical outreach in Kango, a village within Kuje Area Council. This community faces significant challenges, with a large population lacking access to essential healthcare services. Kango has no healthcare facilities, and residents often have to travel long distances to receive medical care. Our outreach is more than just a one-day event—it’s an opportunity to bring life-saving medical attention to those who need it most. We aim to provide comprehensive healthcare services, including consultations, treatments, and essential medications. However, to achieve this, we need your support. How You Can Help: • Donate Medications: We are in urgent need of a wide range of medications to meet the needs of the community. Your donation can help provide life-saving treatments to those who otherwise have no access to healthcare. • Financial Contributions: Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Your financial support will help us purchase necessary supplies, transport our medical team, and cover other logistical costs. • Spread the Word: Even if you can’t donate, you can still support our mission by sharing this message with others who might be able to help. Why This Outreach Matters: Kango’s residents have been without a local healthcare facility for too long, and this outreach could be their only chance to receive proper medical care. With your help, we can address their urgent needs and work towards a healthier future for this community. We hope you can join us in this crucial mission to bring healthcare to Kango. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of many.

📢 Important Notice: Changes to Our Membership Structure 📢 We’re excited to announce some important changes to our membership structure, designed to simplify and improve your experience with us! As a charity, we don’t receive regular funding. Our work is powered by donations, membership fees, fundraising, and the sale of merchandise on our website. Your support is crucial for conducting surveys and research that the medical community relies on, and for amplifying our voice in campaigns for better diagnosis and treatment. Why Become a Member? Membership is open to anyone: Diagnosed with PA Without an official diagnosis but experiencing symptoms Family, friends, and carers of those affected Healthcare professionals Being a member helps you connect with others, share experiences, and influence future research and priorities. What’s Changing? We've streamlined our membership fees from three tiers (bronze, silver, gold) to just two levels: annual or lifetime. Bronze and silver members will switch to annual, while gold members will transition to lifetime membership. Note: Healthcare Professional membership remains unchanged but is under review for potential enhancements. The cost remains the same, and so does the high standard of service from our dedicated team of volunteers.

Quick reflections on #digitalfundraising: Context: Last week, my family rallied behind our amazing cousin, Maayan - an E.R. doctor in Israel who needed additional resources to train more IDF doctors/medics in life-saving techniques in combat situations. The need was urgent: In one month she and her team already trained 400 individuals and many more were signing up to be trained -- requiring replacement parts and supplies not covered by their limited budget. We worked with the "friends of" her hospital group to quickly create a dedicated fundraising page with minimal bells and whistles (or some digital fundraising best practices -- suggested amounts, social media amplification, etc.). The goal was modest: $10,000. In less than 24 hours we pulled it off and expanded the goal to $15,000 -- now with a bonus, stretch goal of $18,000. A few things that may have helped: - People are looking for meaningful ways to give to concrete things -- my gut is this was a specific project (replacement medical supplies used to train soldiers to save lives) led by someone who was 0-2 degrees removed from 90% the donors. - Maayan's cousins/aunts/uncles and parents role modeled engagement - 9 of the first 18 gifts (and 26.7%) of the $10,000 goal came from this group directly. - While we posted on social media (including an Instagram page that features the daily reflections of her father - @yourdoron), personal or targeted solicitations were important. - For example, I created a personal goal to get 18 people to give at least $18 (chai - the Jewish value of life) to the campaign. At the end, 19 people I personally asked to give contributed $1,428 ranging from $18 to $180; an additional $600 was raised from gifts made by friends of these 19 people. I should note, not every request resulted in a gift, which is OK too (I probably asked 25-28 people). - In some cases, giving a deadline (before Shabbat started) worked; in others it didn't. To date, 120 donors responded to the call -- Our entire family and Maayan's hospital are grateful to each and every one of them for their support.

Take care of donors with access to reliable data. At Lahai Health, they’ve been able to use their data to help donors feel connected to their mission by nurturing all donors personally at scale. The result: a 10% increase in fundraising revenue from individual donors and a 38% increase in annual revenue overall. The world-class care for your patients should set the standard for the care in the experiences for donors, patient families, volunteers, and supporters. #ResponsiveNonprofit #ResponsiveFundraising #NonprofitCRM #Healthcare
