BRIDGE THE GAP:

WHY CARINGMILES EXIST, FROM IDEA TO IMPACT

When the System Fails, the Community Steps In....

We’ve been on the road for over a year, but the true mission of CaringMiles Medical Transportation was defined by a phone call we received from a local medical facility.

The Problem: The facility's social worker was in a bind. They had a patient who needed to attend their weekly dialysis extremely essential treatments and wheelchair accessible vehicle was needed as well. The patient’s Medi-Cal renewal had been delayed, leaving them in a coverage vacuum.

The Question: The facility called us asking, "Are there any government options for this? How do we get this patient to their appointments while the paperwork is in limbo?"

The Harsh Reality: The honest answer was: No. While there are government programs, they often move at the speed of bureaucracy, not the speed of medical necessity. Most government transportation requires active, verified coverage. If the paperwork isn't "green," the wheels don't turn.

Our Response: We realized that day that being a "transportation company" wasn't enough. We needed to be a community solution.

We stepped in to cover those rides, but it sparked the creation of the CARINGMILES COMMUNITY FUND

We built this fund so that when a facility calls us with a "gap case," we don't have to say "no." We can say, "The government options aren't ready yet, but our Community Fund is."
