Love Heals hosts benefit concerts where we partner with a local Storyteller to share up to 15 minutes of their story to encourage and inspire their local community. 100% of every dollar raised goes to the Storyteller and we keep a donation window open for up to 1 month. We cover costs that are associated with their hardship. Hardship could be a medical crisis, loss of a loved one, kinship/ foster care, homelessness, etc. Examples of costs Love Heals will cover include reimbursements of lost wages, medical debt, mortgage payments, rent, home repairs, car payments, etc. So long as documentation is provided to validate costs that are associated with our Storytellers hardship, Love Heals will partner with the individual to help payout those costs directly to vendors.
