Dear John,

This Giving Tuesday, your support isn’t just appreciated—it’s essential.

Health and well-being should be within reach for every person, in every community, but too often, that's not the case. While the future of access to many essential resources feels uncertain for so many, Health Leads remains committed to community-led leadership – working in partnership to fill critical gaps and break down deeply entrenched barriers to health.

We know what’s possible when change is rooted in community strength and leadership. Over the past year, through our work locally and nationally, we’ve seen how communities thrive when we tackle inequities head-on together. Our wins include:

• Equipping community leaders with the support and funding they need to design innovative solutions to tackle health inequities in their communities;

• Increasing access to life-saving maternal health care in New York by achieving Medicaid reimbursement for doula services;

• Building community-owned food networks throughout Boston that deliver healthy, fresh food and help residents access food benefits;

• Connecting caregivers across the country so they can drive the changes they need to strengthen, uplift and expand their crucial role.

Your support helps drive more transformative changes like these. Together, we can rise to meet this moment and protect the future we’ve been fighting for: one where everyone has the opportunity to live with health, well-being, and dignity.

Thank you for standing with us,

The Health Leads Team
