If you need funding for something that is not listed above, you can still submit your request and our Board of Directors will review the request for approval.
Special Note: This funding cannot be used for medical expenses associated with a cosmetic procedure that is being performed to enhance or improve aesthetic appearance. However, this funding can be used for expenses for reconstructive procedures that are being performed to address a physical impairment, medical impairment, or chronic pain. We do support people’s right to change their appearance, but we have to restrict our funding to people that are in dire need of funding for serious medical needs.
