NO RED TAPE™
No Red Tape™: Why We're Different
Our Promise to You
At iCare of Michigan, we understand that when you’re facing a crisis, the last thing you need is bureaucratic barriers. That’s why we’ve created our trademarked No Red Tape™ approach to assisting.
What No Red Tape™ Means
While other charities may require:
• Extensive documentation
• Multiple rounds of interviews
• Complex eligibility criteria
• 30+ days waiting period only to be denied
iCare of Michigan simply asks for:
- A letter explaining your unforeseen circumstance
How our help will get you back on your feet - Copies of the third-party bill(s) we would pay on your behalf
Our Simple Process
1. Share Your Story: Write us a letter explaining what happened and how you found yourself in this unforeseen circumstance.
2. Show How We Can Help: Let us know how paying your past-due mortgage, medical bill, auto loan, or addressing an eviction or utility shut-off notice will help get you back to your normal life.
3. Provide the Bill: Include a copy of the third-party bill(s) so we know exactly where to direct payment.
Why This Matters
When facing a financial emergency, time is critical. While other organizations might take 30 days or more only to deny your application, our No Red Tape™ approach means we can respond quickly and effectively.
Our focus is on providing one-time emergency assistance when there’s nowhere else to turn. We believe in helping people get back on their feet without unnecessary barriers.
Success Stories
“After losing my job unexpectedly, I fell behind on my mortgage payments. Other organizations required paperwork I couldn’t provide during such a stressful time. iCare of Michigan’s No Red Tape™ approach meant I just needed to explain my situation and provide my mortgage statement. They paid my past-due amount directly, giving me time to find new employment without losing my home.”
“When my car broke down, I couldn’t get to work. Without transportation, I risked losing my job. iCare of Michigan paid my repair bill directly to the mechanic after I simply explained my situation. No complicated forms, no weeks of waiting—just the help I needed when I needed it most.”
