Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Special Needs Assistance

We all benefit when children with special needs are given what they need to become as successful in their community as their abilities allow. No parent should have to choose between seeing their child thrive and putting gas in the tank or food on the table. The current health insurance structure is forcing families of children with special needs to decide between paying for effective, evidence-based speech, occupational, physical and other therapies and services or paying their household bills. Multiple co-pays, high deductibles, limited insurance benefits and lack of coverage provide barriers to care. The weight of realizing that your child's future isn't affordable is a tremendous burden to bear. This is why we were founded. We provide funding for access to the resources and support that these families desperately need.
