The foundation assists families in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region into New Jersey and Delaware. The majority of requests come from social workers at Children’s hospitals in these areas. In the state of Pennsylvania, all children with a catastrophic illness, such as cancer, are covered 100 % for all their medical needs. The foundation picks up other expenses families are struggling with during the course of their children’s illness. Many of the requests we fulfill are often to help cover the cost of rent or mortgage payments, gas, electric and oil bills, transportation, and telephone services. On occasion we also receive and fulfill requests for help with funeral services and other financial struggles. Many times, these requests are made without the family knowing that we are helping. This is done so that the families don’t have to worry any more than they already are. It is our goal to help alleviate any added stress and to give the families some peace of mind.
