Ways to Give

Mission of Mercy is now accepting Cryptocurrency!

Give directly through our secured Crypto giving platform to convert your crypto to dollars. You will receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the Crypto in dollars.

Many of our patients are uninsured and don’t qualify for health assistance programs or are under-insured and can’t afford their high deductibles or expensive medications.  Our funding comes from the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations, the faith community, service clubs, workplace giving and others in the communities we serve. Thanks to our donors and many volunteers, we are able to provide health and dental care, including prescription medications – all for free!

TO DONATE:

If you would like to donate to our Maryland and Pennsylvania clinics, you may donate via the secure connection here or you may print and complete the form and mail it to the following address:

Mission of Mercy
22 S. Market Street, Suite 6D
Frederick, MD 21701

What Your Dollars Do

  • Provide an extraction and relief to a young mother who has been in pain and in desperate need of dental care; she is able to continue caring for her child.
  • Provide insulin or diabetic medication to a middle-aged working woman, who otherwise could not afford the doctor visits and needed maintenance medications.
  • Help a father with high blood pressure medication so he can continue working and provide for his family.
  • With your help, hundreds of patients will receive the care they need, so they are able to maintain their health and stay out of the emergency room.
