We want to take a moment to share our deep gratitude with everyone who has supported Ubuntu Clinic so far.
Thanks to your generosity, we have raised $692.26. This represents a shared commitment to making health care more accessible for our patients, especially our unhoused and uninsured patients.
We believe in being transparent about how community funds are used, so here’s exactly how this support will be put to use:
- 5 glucometer kits – $153
To help patients with diabetes monitor their blood sugar safely at home. These kits include the glucometer, lancets, and testing strips. - Comprehensive lab panels for 10 patients – $390
Including CMP, CBC, HbA1c, urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio, and lipid panel—critical tests for managing chronic conditions and preventing complications from diabetes, hypertension, and HIV. - 5 winter jackets for unhoused patients – $30
Warmth is health care. Staying warm reduces illness, injury, and risk during colder months. - 200 condoms – $35
To support sexual health and STD/HIV prevention. - One chest X-ray (PA & lateral) at RadNet – $55
Covering imaging when it’s medically necessary and cost would otherwise be a barrier. - Two naloxone (Narcan) nasal sprays – $35
Life-saving medication to prevent death from opioid overdose.
These are real interventions for our patients. With these, someone can get their blood sugar controlled for the first time, prevent hypothermia at night, obtain labs they’ve put off for years, and stay alive during an accidental opioid overdose.
Your support helps us practice the kind of medicine we believe in: decolonial, low-barrier, community-rooted, and patient-centered.
From all of us at Ubuntu Clinic, thank you for standing with our patients. We are honored to steward these resources on behalf of the community, and we look forward to sharing more as this work continues.
With gratitude,
Ubuntu Clinic
