What We Do

One family at a time, we need to make sure that the financial hardship brought on by a sick child does not destroy an already hurt family.

Whether it is to pay a phone bill or mortgage payment, "we will be there." Whether it be aiding in paying for medical bills deemed "experimental" or due to lack of insurance, "we will be there".
