🎯 What Is CareBridge?

A privacy-first donation platform connecting patients in need, verified hospitals, and donors worldwide.

No patient photos. No real names. Just bills and trust.

❓ Problem

Millions can't afford healthcare. Existing platforms:

  • Exploit patient privacy (forced photos + sad stories)
  • Take days to verify
  • No proof where money goes

CareBridge fixes all three.

✅ Our Solution

Scenario Who Flow
A Hospital Treats free → posts request with cost → donor pays hospital
B Individual Posts medicine need → adds total cost → swears data is correct → donor pays

Donors decide. Platform connects. Privacy always.

🔐 Privacy First

Included NEVER Included
Medicine names Patient photo
Costs Patient real name
Hospital stamp National ID
Fake patient ID Phone number

Legal swear checkbox + police warning for fake requests.

🌍 UNSDG Alignment

SDG #3 — Good Health & Well-being

  • Removes financial barriers
  • Protects patient dignity
  • Enables global donors to help locally

🧱 Tech Stack

Layer Technology
Frontend 11ty + Pico.css + JavaScript
Backend Firebase (Auth + DB + Storage)
Hosting Netlify
Package pnpm

Lightweight. Works on low-end devices. Zero-cost to start.
