You’re making a difference

Thanksgiving reminds us to embrace thankfulness and reflect on ways we can respond to how we’ve been blessed. You’re making a difference in others’ lives just by being a CHM member. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are several ways you can bless others even more—this holiday season.

Financial support

You can give extra to other members financially through CHM Give, one of CHM’s options for sharing eligible medical bills for maintained pre-existing conditions. It’s funded solely through generous donations from CHM members and others.

Here’s how CHM Give works: Members give above their monthly contributions, and these funds are dispersed to members with qualifying medical expenses. You can give easily through your CHM Member Portal or by mailing a check to CHM designated for CHM Give. Collectively, in 2025, CHM members gave over $1.5 million, and counting, towards CHM Give. Visit our CHM Give page to get involved.

Spiritual support

CHM members often share the powerful impact of prayers from both staff and fellow members. They’ve been brought to tears by cards of encouragement from complete strangers—connected only by faith and the experience of sharing medical bills. Prayers Unceasing are prayer requests from fellow members included in your Member Contribution Form and under the “Billing” tab of your Member Portal. Each month, you can pray for and send an uplifting note to those in need. Get involved by printing the Prayers Unceasing list, keeping it in your Bible or where you’ll see it often—and send an encouraging card today.

The Prayer Wall is one of the newest ways to give spiritual support to members. Located on the Member Portal, the Prayer Wall is an online prayer board where members can submit a prayer request or pray for someone else. As you pray, you can click the “I Prayed” button, letting them know they’ve been lifted up in prayer and are not alone.

Make a difference

As you think about where to give during this season of thankfulness, we hope you’ll consider donating to CHM Give, as you’re able, and offering spiritual support and encouragement through one of our prayer channels. Thank you for your generosity. It’s making all the difference.
