My husband had back surgery late February. When I checked the mail this morning, there was the check. CHM shared the balance we owed the hospital, and the money we paid down minus the Personal Responsibility. Thank you, CHM members! To God be the glory!

This sequence—going to the mailbox and seeing a CHM reimbursement check—was repeated thousands of times this year in the homes of CHM members across the country. It goes beyond dollars for the mother who needs life-saving treatment for her child, for the grandmother who took an unexpected fall resulting in surgery and rehab, and for the father hearing a scary diagnosis. It’s peace of mind. It’s a burden lifted. It’s more than a gift. And it happened because of you.
As we look back on 2025, here are things you’ve made possible so far*.
- More than 39,000 families were helped through medical bill sharing in 2025.
- CHM members have shared over $460 million and counting, towards other members’ medical bills.
- CHM’s highest month of medical bill sharing totaled nearly $60 million, which included 15,387 checks in CHM members’ mailboxes.
- As part of the medical bills shared, over $2 million went towards CHM Give, helping members’ medical bills for pre-existing conditions, such as knee replacements, shoulder pain, and heart failure.
- CHM members shared over $59 million through CHM Plus for members with illnesses exceeding $125,000.
- CHM SeniorShare™ members were helped with over $6 million in medical bill expenses.
An additional way to make a difference
Each year, by giving above your monthly contributions, members have a unique opportunity to bless other members. This year, members donated over $2 million so far to CHM Give, which goes towards members with medical bills for maintained pre-existing conditions.
Diane Wingate, CHM member from Valrico, FL, experienced firsthand the blessing of CHM Give: “It’s very humbling to ask for help. But because of the generosity of other people and CHM Give, I don’t have to worry about how my [eligible medical] bills are going to be paid. I can go on with my retirement.”
Behind the dollar amounts, individuals and families are impacted by your generosity and support. It’s not too late to give above and beyond for the 2025 year and help members with their eligible medical bills like Diana, the Howards, and Ramona (below). You can give a tax-deductible donation to CHM Give.
Your gifts this year are appreciated and cherished—you’re lightening the burden for others.
The financial strain from medical bills can become overwhelming and every bit of relief received from CHM [members] is a true blessing!
