Blessing Health • September 1, 2021

Whether you’re looking for a worthy cause or wondering how healthcare donations work, we understand that you probably have some questions. We hope to address your concerns, while showing you how nonprofit donations can be as rewarding to the giver as they are to the ultimate recipient.
To that end, Blessing Foundation
is taking time to shed light on what becomes of your donation, and exactly how it helps those in need. If you have further questions, we invite you to contact us at 217-223-8400, ext. 4800.
What Does the Blessing Foundation Do?
Simply put, the Blessing Foundation is here to help people in their time of need. When people come into the hospital to address their medical needs, they can quickly realize that their health is not the only major stressor that they will have to contend with. A healthcare-related struggle can quickly become a financial one, and the goal of our foundation is to help address that patient's issue quickly so that they can focus on their health and get better. Your donations help us with that.
How Will My Donation Be Used?
Your donation will be used to help patients cover their expenses while they are sick or after they have recovered. This can result in your donation being used in a wide variety of ways.
Your donation might be used to pay for a gas card so that a patient can get to their treatments even when their bank account is low. Your donation can help a patient pay for a prescription that they otherwise couldn't afford. Donations are used to purchase medical equipment that can help a patient on the road to recovery. We have even used a donation to get someone a copy of their birth certificate so that they could apply for Medicaid.
A donation that you have made can be used to help a patient stay in their home comfortably. We have helped people pay for mattresses and air conditioners. We have assisted people who need their rent or utility bills paid.
The Blessing Foundation will do anything to help a patient in need.
How Can I Make a Donation?
We offer an online form
that makes it simple to donate. You can choose whether your donation goes to the Blessing Foundation, the hospital itself, or another worthy cause. If you would prefer to mail your donation, just print out the form and follow the instructions to mail in your check.
How Much of My Donation Goes to Those Who Need Help?
