A quiet secret that could change everything 🤫

Reader,

A few years ago, I overheard a conversation in a restaurant that stuck with me. Two people at the next table were talking about their health. One said something I’ll never forget:

“I can’t afford to get sick.”

Not “I can’t afford the treatment”—but “I can’t even afford to find out.”

It haunted me. What happens when someone waits too long? What’s the cost of delaying that first visit?

That one comment made me look at what we do here at Cherry Hill Free Clinic differently. I started asking:

What would it take to make people unafraid to walk through our doors?

What obstacles would we have to tear down—financial, emotional, practical—so nobody ever felt that way again?​
​

Today is Giving Tuesday. If this resonates with you, consider being part of the solution. A single $10 donation helps cover the cost of a screening that might catch something early enough to change someone’s life.

As this person was getting up from their table, I noticed something:

they were well dressed, wearing an expensive tech gadget, and carrying keys to a not-too-shabby ride.

The stereotype that those who lack health insurance are somehow poor is just that, a stereotype.

But that’s not even the biggest twist in this story.

After lunch today, I’ll tell you about someone who almost walked away from our clinic… and the one thing that stopped them.

Until then,

​

PS: If you can’t make it happen this year, no problem. You can still make an impact by sharing this. Please pick 5 or more people you know would love the opportunity to change someone's life here in NJ today, and send this link to them now: CHFC.us/GT.

It’ll only take a minute, but could make all the difference. 💙
