When the System Fails, Your Compassion Restores Care and Dignity

When families lose access to healthcare, they lose more than coverage — they lose peace of mind. The Florida Health Justice Project helps families like the Morlas restore access to care, dignity, and stability after benefits are wrongly denied. This Give Miami Day, your gift helps restore fairness and hope for Florida families who deserve a chance to breathe again.

Morla Family's Story

Lizette and her husband were doing everything right. She’s an acupuncture physician; he’s an occupational therapy assistant. Together, they were raising two boys with special needs — one preparing for adulthood, the other still in school.

Then one day, a small change in their bank balance caused their Medicaid coverage to stop. Overnight, their sons lost access to therapies and medical care they depended on.

“It was very stressful,” Lizette shared. “Things were very, very stressful.”

That’s when they found the Florida Health Justice Project (FHJP). Our advocate, Nicole, guided them step-by-step through restoring their benefits — helping them understand what forms were needed and where to turn.

“It was an absolute godsend for us,” Lizette said. “She explained things in a way where we didn’t understand before and gave us step-by-step instructions on what to do.”

Knowing they could see their doctors again — it felt like we could finally breathe.

Because of your support, families like the Morlas don’t have to face these challenges alone.

We believe justice is how communities heal. Together, we restore hope, dignity, and care.

Give Today to Restore Care and Dignity

“I just feel like people need to be aware that there’s help out there. There are people who genuinely care and genuinely want to help.”

— Lizette, FHJP Client

Mission

Florida Health Justice Project engages in comprehensive advocacy to expand health care access and promote health equity for vulnerable and marginalized Floridians.

Florida Health Justice Project uses all the tools in the advocate's toolbox: legislative and administrative advocacy, storytelling, litigation, research and analysis, outreach and education, and technical assistance to other advocates. With this multi-pronged approach we are able to elevate the public dialogue around access to healthcare and work toward systemic solutions, while raising the voices of those directly impacted.
