Assessing the need
Everyday hardworking people struggle with the financial burden of dealing with long-term disabilities. The costs associated with these disabilities all too often are not covered by insurance or government programs, costs such as special wheel chairs, ADA home modifications, modified vehicles, service dogs, counseling, expensive medications, and caregivers. These people lack the voice to raise awareness of their need.
the approach
New Story seeks to raise awareness and promote funding for people dealing with the costs of rare and undiagnosed diseases. It is a platform that utilizes cinematic storytelling techniques and values based marketing campaigns to promote fundraising to help those who are struggling with the financial burdens of rare disabilities.
Storytelling
Why story? Story leads behavior. It sticks with people. The stories will be documentary style footage of people dealing with disabilities. They will share the everyday struggles families with disabilities face, and focus on a particular need they are immediately dealing with. The goal is to create a strong emotional connection that leaves the audience with the question, "How can I help?"
