“If you ever lose faith in humanity, go spend ten minutes at a RAM clinic. You're going to see hundreds of people there that are donating their time. And they’re coming out, and they’re donating large swaths of their own money, slash time, to help their neighbors,” says Brad Sands, a RAM clinic coordinator. The clinics offer free health care to Americans who are uninsured or underinsured. Depending on the size of the clinic, RAM will spend between $100,000 and $1.5 million over a weekend. “Over 81% of our supporters are individual donors, people that write $5, $10, $20 checks every month,” says RAM CEO Chris Hall. Medical professionals from 30 states also paid their own way to volunteer. There are 887 volunteers at the Knoxville, Tennessee, clinic in just one weekend. #humanstories #volunteer #nonprofit #healthcare #freeclinic
