Introduction
As we age, access to healthcare becomes increasingly vital for maintaining a high quality of life. However, for many uninsured and under-insured seniors in Kern County, the financial strain of medical bills and transportation costs can make accessing critical care seem impossible. That’s where Thrive & Purpose Foundation steps in—offering meaningful support to seniors aged 50+ as they navigate chronic health challenges.
In this post, we’ll explore how Thrive & Purpose is empowering seniors to thrive, one step at a time.
Making Healthcare Accessible for All Seniors
At Thrive & Purpose, we believe that every senior deserves equitable access to healthcare, regardless of their income or insurance status. Our mission is to eliminate the barriers that prevent seniors from receiving the care they need, whether it’s the cost of treatment or the challenge of traveling to appointments.
Through programs like Transportation Support (gas cards) and Medical Cost Assistance (up to $1,000 in grants), we are helping seniors focus on their health without the burden of overwhelming expenses.
“We envision a community where every senior has the opportunity to lead a healthier and more dignified life. By reducing financial barriers, we empower seniors to focus on what matters most—their health and well-being.”

Current Focus: Supporting Seniors with Heart Failure
This year, our grant cycle is focused on individuals managing heart failure. This chronic condition can have a profound impact on daily life, requiring frequent medical visits and treatments. With financial assistance from Thrive & Purpose, seniors can access essential care without the added stress of wondering how to pay for it.
Our long-term vision is to expand these grants to include a wider range of chronic conditions, ensuring even more seniors can benefit from the foundation’s resources.
Real Stories of Impact
Meet Gloria, a 72-year-old Kern County resident managing heart failure. When Gloria’s medical bills began piling up, she worried she might have to choose between paying for treatment or covering basic living expenses.
Thanks to a grant from Thrive & Purpose, Gloria received the financial relief she needed to continue her care.
“This grant has given me so much peace of mind. I can finally focus on getting better, instead of worrying about how I’m going to pay my next bill.” – Gloria
