Claudio looked like a strong guy on the outside . . . 
. . . but on the inside, he was sick.
Claudio had lost his job and his medical insurance, and he doesn't qualify for government health assistance. Then he became ill. Someone told him about Shepherd's Hope, but Claudio thought he must be wrong.  "Who would help you like that?  And be so nice, too, according to my friend. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't believe him."
But as Claudio's symptoms worsened, he realized he didn't have anything to lose and decided to seek help at Shepherd's Hope. "I was amazed, astonished, so impressed.  From the moment I entered the clinic, it was as if the people there couldn't do enough to help you."

Unfortunately, Claudio was sick on the inside. He needed diagnostic tests provided by Shepherd's Hope compassionate community partners, as well as care from specialists. Ultimately, surgery was necessary to remove a tumor on his kidney.  "But Shepherd's Hope was with me all the way.  I'm feeling better now, a bit stronger every day."

Soon, Claudio will look strong on the outside AND be strong on the inside - thanks to the care of Shepherd's Hope dedicated volunteers.


There are thousands of patients like Claudio who need Shepherd's Hope each year.  Because of your compassion and generosity, our dedicated volunteers can offer them hope and healing.  This year, thanks to incredible support from friends like you, more than 20,000 patient visits and additional medical services will be provided.  Unfortunately, due to limited resources, more than 2,000 neighbors will still be turned away.  Despite healthcare reform, the number of patients seeking medical care from Shepherd's Hope is expected to increase.

 Please consider a generous donation to continue providing hope and healing to Shepherd's Hope patients. 

For every $1 donated, more than $15 will be donated in-kind from our extraordinary community partners to help patients in need.

Your generosity makes it possible for Shepherd's Hope patients to receive compassionate healthcare.  Working together, we work wonders in lives.
Shepherd's Hope is committed to good stewardship of your generosity.  In fact, only 12 cents of each dollar donated in 2010 and 2011 went to administrative or fundraising costs.  That means 88 cents went directly to patients and their care!

Upon request, independently audited financial documentation will be provided to anyone interested in seeing how Shepherd's Hope stewards the community's generous donations.
