About Us

As a small business owner with a growing family, getting hit by a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar medical bill was terrifying. This was a bill I couldn't have paid off in a lifetime. Medical debt like this was going to permanently impact my ability to purchase vehicles, own a home, and even continue to keep my small business afloat. I spent months reaching out to try to get the bill switched to in-network because it was billed as out-of-network wrongly. The Bridges Foundation knew who to contact and was able to get it changed to in-network and get it lowered $285k, yes you read that right. Then, they were able to access the hospital system's charity care and got the residual removed! The Bridges Foundation's help with this medical bill quite literally changed our lives. With access to this assistance, our family has been able to continue working, growing, and building. We have recently been able to get the vehicle we have needed for years and are in a home where our 2 daughters have room to grow and play. We are forever thankful for the Bridges Foundation. Because of this, our family will continue to be able to stay afloat and give a future to our girls.
