When it comes to medical crowdfunding sites, there is a large emphasis on solely the monetary donation aspect of fundraisers. Hand in Hand takes into account the mental and emotional struggles that patients must endure in addition to their monetary needs to afford treatment. This allows those who cannot provide financial support to still wish them the best in their recovery and provide support in other ways.
Patients can submit an application with their information and why they wish to create a post in Hand in Hand. This ensures a trustful platform for supporters. After being approved, the patient would have full ownership of their fundraiser with zero fees. The patient information section allows users to get to know who the patient is as an individual so that they can write thoughtful and personalized messages. This design could be improved by allowing patients to categorize their monetary needs to provide transparency as to where the money would go.
