Financial Assistance Funds

Based in Des Plaines, IL, Financial Assistance Funds is dedicated to supporting children with special health care needs and their families by offering crucial financial assistance tailored to their unique challenges. Our program covers a wide range of essential expenses, including medical costs like prescriptions, medical supplies, and durable medical equipment, as well as non-medical necessities such as home and vehicle modifications, clothing, and daily living costs, including food and utilities. We also assist with healthcare utilization expenses, providing funds for travel to medical facilities, lodging for families, and associated travel costs. Each family can receive up to $500 per year to alleviate financial burdens, with requests handled promptly in the order received. We strive to ensure families have the support they need, and while larger requests may require additional approval, our goal is to respond with care and efficiency, empowering families during challenging times.
