We provide vital financial assistance for essentials like utilities and housing, as well as gas and grocery cards to help ease the burden during these challenging times. Our application process, which is managed through hospital staff to ensure confidentiality and authenticity, typically takes 2-3 weeks for consideration. We encourage families to have their medical teams submit requests on their behalf, as direct communication from applicants is not permitted to maintain privacy. To ensure efficient processing, confirming the receipt of applications via email is highly recommended, helping us to better serve those in need and respond promptly to their requests for support.
