Stories
We publish accounts from families and clinicians only after written consent is on file, so this page grows slowly and deliberately. Below is what each program covers and how its stories are collected.
By program
Mobility equipment
Grants in this category pay for wheelchairs, adaptive seating, gait trainers, and standers requested by a hospital's rehabilitation team. Accounts from the families who received this equipment are collected by our program staff and published here once a parent or guardian has signed a consent form.
Rehabilitation program
Rehabilitation grants fund physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions that fall outside a family's coverage. Clinicians and families who take part are invited to describe the course of care in their own words; we publish those accounts only with written permission.
Family lodging fund
The lodging fund covers hotel nights, meals, and travel for families who live far from the hospital treating their child. Stories from this program are gathered at discharge, reviewed with the family, and posted here after consent is on file.
The photographs on this page are illustrative and do not depict specific grant recipients. If your family took part in one of these programs and would like to share your experience, contact us and our program staff will walk you through the consent process.
