Where the Money Goes
All donations are for patient alternative medical health care.
A wide range of complementary health approaches are used for children, including herbs and dietary supplements, massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic care. CAM treatments cost can be prohibitive without eFundyourhealth.org
*Tell your child’s health care providers about any complementary or integrative approach you are considering or using for your child.
1. About 40% of children aged 2 to 8 are given dietary supplements containing vitamins or minerals.
2. Children with chronic medical conditions, including anxiety, musculoskeletal conditions, and recurrent headaches, are more likely than other children to use complementary health approaches, usually along with conventional care.
3. Biofeedback, guided imagery, hypnosis, mindfulness, and yoga are some of the mind and body practices that have the best evidence of being effective for children for various symptoms (such as anxiety and stress) and are low-risk.
4. Nonvitamin, nonmineral dietary supplements; chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation; and yoga, tai chi, or qi gong were the most commonly used complementary health approaches in both 2007 and 2012. Also consistent between 2007 and 2012 was that complementary health approaches were most frequently used for back or neck pain, head or chest cold, anxiety or stress, and other musculoskeletal conditions
If there are not enough patients within a category, eFund will disburse funds to other campaigns in need.
Frequently Asked Questions
eFundYourHealth differs from other crowdfunding sites in that we also have a parallel process which allows corporate and individual donors to contribute to a Global Healing Fund pool designed to assist individuals in meeting their financial needs for their treatment and care.
Unless specified, your donations go directly to eFundYourHealth's general fund which is available for any patient. If you would like to donate for patients with specific illnesses, click on the disease heading to donate here. Add link: https://efundyourhealth.org/campaigns/ As a Global Healing Donor you receive a tax deduction, but you will not be able to specify the patient that receives financial assistance. Donations made to a specific patient are considered a gift and are not tax-deductible, per IRS regulations. You are still free to donate directly to any patient campaign - this donation is not tax-deductible.
eFundYourhealth distributes Global Healing money by allocating the Global Healing raised to each person who starts a campaign at eFundYourhealth, according to availability. The grant amount can be viewed in a pop-up banner by the patient when they start a campaign. Patients start a crowdfunding campaign on eFundYourHealth, and at the end of the campaign, they receive a supplement to the money they raise in their campaign.
Simply choose Global Healing Fund by clicking the ‘Give Now’ button. You can enter the amount of your donation, then proceed to the checkout page.
