Eligibility, available funding and application procedures can change. Some organizations require families to be receiving treatment at a specific hospital or to work with a hospital social worker. Always check the organization’s official website for current requirements before applying.
You don't have to navigate this alone.
If you are unsure where to start, a hospital social worker, doctor or healthcare team may also be able to connect you with local financial and practical support.
