Our project is to build and fund a free hospital where any patient can go for treatment, regardless of money or insurance. Can you help us to do this? When I was in medical school, I realized that the practice of medicine had somehow gone astray. The “care” of healthcare had disappeared, and with it the “health” too. Nowadays, I travel the world giving lectures, doing clown-work with others in psychiatric hospitals, orphanages, refugee camps, villages, and everywhere human suffering needs care. Everywhere I go, I hear over and over again about miserable and terrible experiences people are having with “healthcare.” I tell them it’s because care and health are no longer key ingredients of medicine. That’s where you come in. To help us build and run a free hospital, it needs ongoing, foundational support. That’s why every contribution, no matter how large or small, whether $5 or $5 million per month, adds up. Your help on this project will not only show the world that such a hospital is real, but will add to the building of a haven where anyone (you, me, our family and friends) can get real care and real health from medicine when they need it. Thank you!

I say dream big! When I started, I was sure that people would find my idea exciting enough to help us. Like Don Quixote, I share my romantic dream of a hospital with the world so that one day we will make it a reality.
