DONATE To Help Our Partners Provide Medical Help to The Poor Rural Communities
The cultural and social barriers faced by immigrant communities in the Cleveland area can mean that they use health services less which has serious consequences for their health. This perpetuates their disproportionate levels of poverty. Very poor and vulnerable people often make harsh choices that put their health at risk. Therefore, donating to HEAPI will help create a link for the local immigrant population in the Cleveland area to access basic information and medical care that will improve on their lives.
