Give Back

The Basic Needs Fund helps individuals and families overcome hardship by providing essentials that restore dignity, stability, and hope.

There is HOPE because of friends like YOU.

We know how to treat diabetes. We know how to treat addiction. We know how to manage nearly all chronic illnesses. But for many of our patients, the social determinants of health stand in the way of true wellness—barriers that others may never have to face.

That’s why we rely on the generosity of supporters like you—to provide for what traditional funding simply doesn’t cover.

The needs are constant, and we’ve been thoughtful and targeted in how the Basic Needs Fund is used. But know this: your support, your commitment, and your vision truly change—and often save—lives.

Friends like you make all the difference.

Thank you. I will be using this help for food for my children. I really appreciated all the help from Wheeler.

Patient who benefited from the Basic Needs Fund

It's inspiring to know people care. It's motivating me to put myself in the position to help others in the future when I'm in a better spot. Thank you all.

Patient who benefited from the Basic Needs Fund

I spoke to [the mother of a patient] today. She told me her teenage daughter's spirit is so lifted from the basic needs help and of course that makes Mom feel better too…Mom said to say thank you and that she feels like 'Wheeler really cares'.

Note from a Wheeler clinician

The mom is still dealing with COVID. She started crying when I told her we could help her family through the Basic Needs Fund. Please thank whoever provided this for them. It’s a big deal.
