After a challenging year marked by family health scares, Kenetra faced lost work and falling behind on bills. Thanks to the Critical Medical Needs program, her overdue electric bill was paid in full.

If health challenges have made it difficult for you or a loved one to keep up with bills, United Way’s Critical Medical Needs program can step in to help.

Designed to prevent disconnection or restore services for those with serious health issues, the program ensures Kansas Citians stay connected to essential services — thanks to local partnerships with Evergy and Spire.

Want to help? You can make a difference by contributing to help neighbors in need this holiday season (and beyond).
