What does your dollar do?
Your dollars are the cog that keeps the MedWish machine going.
At MedWish, we believe that every person deserves access to quality medical supplies and equipment, regardless of their location or economic status. That's why we work tirelessly to bridge the gap between excess and need.
That's where you come in. Your generous donations help us cover the costs of collecting, storing, and preparing these items for distribution.
