Financial Assistance Funds

Financial Assistance Funds in Deridder, LA, is dedicated to supporting children with special health care needs and their families by providing essential financial assistance. Our program focuses on alleviating medical expenses such as prescriptions, medical bills, and durable medical equipment, as well as non-medical costs including home and vehicle modifications, clothing, and daily necessities. We also help cover healthcare utilization costs, facilitating travel to medical facilities, lodging, and parking fees. Recognizing the diverse needs of families, we address additional requests on a case-by-case basis. Grants of up to $500 per family, per year, are available, with larger requests requiring Board approval and potentially longer processing times. We are committed to timely assistance, aiming to review all requests within 15 business days and ensure that families receive the support they need during challenging times.
