Get Relief from Hospital Bills
Most hospitals offer discounts or bill forgiveness based on income. On average, a family of 4 earning less than $100,000 a year will qualify. Dollar For can help you apply — for free.
Hospital financial assistance is sometimes called “charity care.” By law, nonprofit hospitals must offer programs that forgive bills. Many for-profit hospitals also offer help. When patients are approved for charity care, their bills are reduced or eliminated.

What Is KAT?
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) refers to the use of ketamine in conjunction with facilitated therapy. KAT is a proven treatment for many mental health disorders, including major depression, PTSD, generalized anxiety, and substance abuse.
Ketamine itself is a dissociative medicine that quiets sensory input and can give people a temporary change in their mental perspective. Its original use was as a surgical anesthetic, for which it received FDA approval in 1970. Since then it’s been used worldwide as an anesthetic, has an outstanding safety record, and is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines.

The 10 Principles of Disability Justice
Source: Sins Invalid
Intersectionality: Many disabled people experience other forms of oppression in addition to ableism. The experience of disability is shaped by race, gender, class, and more.
Leadership of the most impacted: The most oppressed lead our movement because they know the most about how systems of oppression work.
Anti-capitalist politic: We don’t conform to capitalist systems that profit from us. Human worth does not rely on how much a person can produce.
Commitment to cross-movement organizing: We work with other movements to shift views on ableism and disability.
Recognizing wholeness: We have value beyond capitalist standards of work. Disabled people are whole people.
Sustainability: We work at a pace that promotes ongoing justice and liberation and values the teachings of our lives and bodies.
Commitment to cross-disability solidarity: We join together to accomplish more. Isolation harms us all.
Interdependence: We help each other achieve liberation for all living systems and the land. Government solutions control us more.
Collective access: We share the responsibility to create community with each other by making access a way of life for all.
Collective liberation: No one is left behind; we need each other to achieve freedom.
