Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $9,302 spent. We provide help hope and love to spinal cord injury SCI survivors and other disabled individuals in need. We are inspired by Jesus teaching in John 15:12-13 This is my commandment that you love one another as I have love you. Greater love has no one than this that someone lay down his life for his friends. Therefore we search out SCI survivors and other disabled individuals in need and provide them with custom adaptive modifications and equipment so they know that they are loved. These modifications and specialized equipment help give the individuals dignity as they become more independent and productive and help them contribute back to society. We currently provide voice controlled rotating beds carbon fiber mouth sticks with custom molded mouth pieces smart phone holders with integrated mouth stick docks and leg bag drainer remotes wireless leg bag drainers for emptying urine bags independently continued on schedule O.
- We are excited to connect with more SCI survivors other disabled people and anyone that needs help hope and love. We host support group meetings via Zoom each week to allow these individuals to be part of a community to share burdens with one another to encourage each other to offer any requested advice and to pray together. If you or a loved one would like to join our meetings then please email us via our website. We are also trying to expand our support group meetings so let us know if a different time works better for you. We also offer one-on-one consulting services to provide help hope and love to other individuals that are not interested in the group Zoom support meetings or that need more individualized help. We know there are thousands of other SCI survivors and other disabled people that feel isolated and alone that would benefit from our programs. We would like to extend our love and support to any individual that needs help. Visit thebonusyears.org to learn more.
