How It Works

Good Samaritan Initiative exists to respond quickly when life hits hard — pairing short-term financial relief with trusted partners who can provide care, comfort, and restoration.

⏱ 30-Day Help Window • Transparent & Trackable
STEP 1

Submit a Request

Families in crisis (or someone advocating for them) can request help. Partners can also refer someone in need.

STEP 2

Review & Verify

We confirm the need and determine the most effective type of support — financial relief, partner services, or both.

STEP 3

Launch a 30-Day Fundraiser

A featured fundraiser goes live for 30 days so the community can rally quickly. At the end, it’s closed and archived.

STEP 4

Deliver Help with Dignity

Funds and partner support are applied where they matter most — restoring stability and helping people take the next step forward.

Built for legitimacy. This site is designed to help donors, families, and partners understand the mission, track what’s happening, and take action with confidence.
