A Committed Team Making a Difference

We are a group of individuals who are passionate about empowering residents to become healthy and productive members of their communities.

Building a Healthier Community, One Person at a Time

It is common knowledge that caring for our health is essential. Yet, for many, access to quality healthcare feels more like a luxury than a basic necessity. In fact, a staggering 27.6 million people in our country do not have health insurance, which they need to stay well. This not only impacts individual lives but also puts a strain on families and communities.

That's where People Who Make a Difference comes in. Since 2011, we have been dedicated to bridging this gap by offering a helping hand to those without insurance. We provide financial assistance for essential medical care, from check-ups to urgent treatments. But we are not just about covering costs; we are about empowering individuals through education and support, so they can make informed decisions about their health.

Together, we can create a future where healthcare is truly accessible for everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Join us in building a healthier, more equitable world – because everyone deserves the chance to thrive.

Our Impact:

Healthcare is a human right, according to us. Our mission is to remove barriers to medical care for the uninsured. As a nonprofit organization, we provide healthcare access to all, regardless of their circumstances, with outreach, education, and financial assistance. Since 2011, PWMD has helped over 3,500 uninsured families with healthcare costs.

Recent Achievements:

  • PWMD was financially awarded after the pandemic year (2020). Over the course of eight weeks,
    51 families were served with the funding. The Emergency Assistance Fund assisted families
    from various backgrounds and locations.

  • We expanded our services from only two, to now six counties, including
    Orange, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Seminole, Brevard, and Polk.
    This allowed us to support more diverse families during a challenging pandemic period.

Our mission and vision as an agency is to contribute to the growth of the population by providing financial subsidies for treatments. Partners in healthcare and finance are needed by PWMD.
