The top three types of assistance include: 1) rent and mortgage payments 2) travel expenses and gas 3) uncovered medical expenses and co-pays
The level of assistance is based, in part, on the family's income. However, it is mainly based on the type and length of treatment. After submitting your application, our Family Navigator will contact you to determine the level of assistance based on your child's and family's individual circumstances and needs.
Give Hope provides financial support for a range of costs regardless of the illness or diagnosis. Regardless of the specific illness, our goal is to be a source of hope and support so families can focus on their child and not on lost income or additional expenses.
