Pay It Forward — Community Sponsorship

Access to advocacy should not depend on who happens to have money at the right moment.

This page exists for people who want to help make care advocacy accessible — without saviorism, pressure, or conditions.

What this is

Pay-It-Forward Community Sponsorship allows supporters to contribute toward advocacy sessions for people who cannot currently afford them.

Contributions are pooled and used to fund:

• full or partial advocacy sessions
• reduced-rate access during urgent situations
• continuity of care when financial strain would otherwise interrupt support

Support is provided quietly, respectfully, and without strings attached.

Recipients are never required to disclose personal details to sponsors.

What this is not

• This is not charity theater.
• This is not a “rescue” model.
• This is not a one-to-one donor pairing.

Funds are used where they are most needed, based on real-time access constraints — not donor preference.

(You may change the amount at checkout.)

Why this matters

Advocacy often becomes necessary because systems have already failed someone.

At the moment people most need support, they may be:

• facing medical or housing instability
• disabled, ill, or in crisis
• financially stretched by the very systems they’re trying to navigate

Community sponsorship helps remove money as the final barrier.

How contributions are used

• Contributions are pooled and applied to eligible sessions.
• Funds may support one person fully or several people partially.
• Allocation is handled with discretion and integrity.

No identifying information about recipients is shared.

Contribute

You can make a Pay-It-Forward Contribution in any amount.

Your contribution directly supports access to advocacy, care navigation, and system-level support for someone who needs it.

Transparency & ethics

This program is run with the same ethics that guide all advocacy work:

• human dignity first
• no coercion
• no extraction
• no moral leverage over recipients

Thank you for supporting access — not optics.
