Reno Supporting Reno: 
It’s What We Do

What types of assistance does Give Hope provide?

The top three types of assistance include: 1) rent and mortgage payments 2) travel expenses and gas 3) uncovered medical expenses and co-pays

How do you determine the assistance level you’ll provide to a family?

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, your Family Navigator will contact you to determine the level of assistance based on your child's and family's individual circumstances and needs.

What types of illnesses qualify you for assistance?

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.

How do I apply for assistance?

Complete an application with our secure online form or do so by printing and faxing an application to (775) 624-6154. Our family navigator will follow-up with you via phone or email; a doctor’s diagnosis, in writing, is required prior to the review of the application.

Does Give Hope pay the family directly?

Give Hope will ask for a copy of the bill or invoice that is agreed will be paid and we submit financial assistance directly to the payee (i.e. mortgage company, doctor’s office, etc.). In some cases, Give Hope will provide reimbursement for an expense; all reimbursement requests will require the original receipt in order to be eligible for reimbursement.

Can anyone apply for assistance?

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.  Applicants must be lawful citizens of the United States and must be receiving treatment for their illness in the United States. The child who has the medical condition must be 18 years of age or younger, or if older than 18 years of age, must be enrolled in a secondary education program or legally dependent.

Can we still obtain support from Give Hope if we have already received assistance from another organization?

Yes you may. Please apply online or give us a call.

If we have already received support from Give Hope, can we apply again?

Approved applications may qualify the applicant for financial assistance one time. After six months, additional request may be submitted to the Give Hope Foundation if further financial assistance is needed.
