Why We Created the Community Member’s Hardship Fund

Every day, caretakers in our community face impossible choices: pay for a medical bill or keep the lights on, buy specialized medical equipment or cover the cost of travel for out-of-state treatment. Insurance often doesn’t cover what their children need most, and the burden falls on families already stretched to their breaking point.

This fund was born out of one mother’s story. She came to us overwhelmed by mounting medical bills and terrified of how she would keep caring for her children. Because of the generosity of supporters like you, we were able to step in. Your donations lifted the weight off her shoulders, gave her children the care they needed, and reminded her that she wasn’t alone.

Now, we want to extend that same support to every mother who finds herself in crisis.

The Community Member’s Hardship Fund will provide immediate, flexible financial relief for urgent needs like:

Life-saving medical bills
Medical equipment not covered by insurance
Emergency travel for out-of-state treatments
Specialized therapies and support services
Unexpected expenses tied to the ongoing care of medically complex children

Your donation goes directly into this fund, ensuring that when a caretaker needs help, we can respond quickly, because sometimes, waiting isn’t an option.

Together, we can make sure no caretaker faces these hardships alone.

Join us in raising $50,000 this year to bring hope, dignity, and relief to families who need it most.
