FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
We recognize that financial situations vary widely. We are happy to discuss an arrangement that aligns with your budget. Our goal is to ensure that no one is turned away due to financial constraints.
The cost of providing full logistical and wraparound services and support for those coming from out of state for Medical Aid in Dying is $1000.00
We gratefully accept donations of any amount to make it possible for us to meet the need for this service in Oregon.
We also welcome what we call “creative currency.” This means that we all have ways in which we can support each other in our community and this does not always mean the exchange of cash. “Paying it forward” with skills, goods or services can have a profound and lasting impact on the community as a whole.
Do you have a vehicle you will no longer be using? Could you donate a memory quilt to a family? Are you a lawyer that might offer pro bono hours in the next coming months? Do you have a temporary rental space that you might offer a future client at no charge? Would your catering business assist a future client with a few meals? Could you offer a gift certificate to a spa or a restaurant so that a future family member might enjoy a few hours of respite?
