Microloans for Health

A good friend emailed me a link for Lend4Health:
Lend4Health facilitates community-based, interest-free "micro-loans" as a creative funding option for individuals seeking optimal health.

Currently, Lend4Health is facilitating loans for the biomedical treatment of children and adults with autism spectrum disorders. Other health issues may be included on Lend4Health in the future.

Lend4Health is inspired by the online lending system at kiva.org.
The OC Register has a number of articles about the organization here. Wikipedia does not yet have a page on them, but I look forward to learning more. Here is a touching video they produced for a monthly contest with ideablob. (HT).
