Who We Are
PeoplePledge (PP) is a website that allows Australians to easily, quickly and securely set up fundraising pages to raise money for medical bills, treatments, loss of income and other associated costs as a result of a medical crisis or illness or disability.
Our Story
We, the co-founders Matthew and Phuong, have always been passionate about helping people.
Through volunteering, we became active members of our community in Western Sydney, understanding the issues and problems faced by many Australians. Not only that, we experienced firsthand the passing of Matthew’s grandfather from stomach cancer, and we
were there at his bed side when he breathed his last breath. We felt the financial stress of the medical bills on our family, and we wanted to help other Australians who may feel the same.
People Pledge in 2013 was born with a vision to help Australians in a medical crisis to directly receive financial support from loved ones across Australia. It is the leading online fundraising platform in Australia that provides direct support and gives
over 90% of donations pledged to Australians in need.
Our Project
Struggling families and sick patients need to know about PeoplePledge and how to use it in order for them to raise funds and access quality medical care.
The families and patients who we have worked with have asked PeoplePledge to make it easier for them to learn about the website and how to successfully fundraise online for medical bills and financial support. Having a series of workshops across Australia
and the ability to personally talk to people one-on-one will enable Australian families and sick patients to confidently raise money online so that families are less stressed and patients get better quality care.
Why This Matters
Many Australians who could benefit from the PeoplePledge service are missing out! So far, a number of Aussies have achieved great results from using PeoplePledge, including Maria, her 3 year old son, and her husband Tyrone. For years they were struggling
to get any financial support to help their family. Fortunately, Maria found PeoplePledge online and she set up a fundraising pledge page called “Help Tyrone Overcome Cancer”, found here:

We want to help more Australian families.
