Financial Assistance Funds

Financial Assistance Funds is dedicated to supporting families in Chicago Heights, IL, who care for children with special health care needs. Our mission is to provide essential financial assistance that eases the burden of both medical and daily living costs. Grants can cover a wide range of expenses, including medical bills, prescriptions, medical supplies, and durable medical equipment, as well as non-medical costs like home or vehicle modifications, clothing, and everyday needs such as food, utilities, and transportation. We also assist with healthcare utilization costs, offering support for travel and lodging expenses related to medical appointments. Each family can receive up to $500 per year in assistance, while additional requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis. We encourage families to apply and assure them that requests will be reviewed promptly, typically within 15 business days, as we work to provide the vital support they need during challenging times.
