At the Charlie E & Minnie P Hendrix Foundation for Chronic Illness, we are committed to making a real, lasting impact in the lives of those living with chronic illnesses—especially within underserved communities. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, every donation we receive goes directly toward helping those who need it most.

Why Your Support Matters

Underserved communities often face significant barriers when it comes to healthcare access, education, and support for chronic illness. Through your generous donations, we’re able to break down those barriers by offering life-changing programs that uplift, educate, and empower individuals and families facing chronic health conditions.

Our Programs Include:

• Health Education Workshops – Providing critical knowledge about managing chronic illness, nutrition, mental wellness, and navigating the healthcare system.
• Patient Advocacy & Support Services – Helping individuals access the care they need, understand their rights, and connect with essential resources.
• Community Wellness Initiatives – Hosting events, screenings, and wellness activities that promote healthy living.
• Youth Outreach & Empowerment – Educating and supporting young people living with chronic conditions or who are caregivers for family members.
• Resource Assistance – Offering aid with transportation to medical appointments, medication assistance, and access to community support services.

Help Us Continue This Important Work



Your donation, no matter the size, helps us continue our mission to work within underserved communities on the issues that affect them the most—from healthcare disparities to lack of access to reliable support systems.

We invite you to donate today through our website and become a part of a growing movement dedicated to equity, compassion, and meaningful change.
