When a child is seriously ill or injured, the entire family struggles. The emotional and physical pain is difficult enough, but many times it’s followed by a financial crisis. Fred’s Footsteps helps by providing direct financial assistance to otherwise financially stable families facing a child’s hospitalization. We provide a funding bridge to working families for a period of one year to help them adjust to their child’s changing needs.
Every family is unique, so the effects of illness or injury are different for each. That’s why Fred’s Footsteps works with families to determine their most pressing needs. Our funding has been used to offset a wide range of out-of-pocket expenses, such as:
- Lost wages of parents forced to leave work or reduce their hours to provide around-the-clock care for a child
- Home renovations needed to accommodate wheelchairs and other medical equipment
- Transportation costs incurred traveling to and from out-of-state medical facilities
- Medical equipment required to support the child’s illness/injury
- Household bills put on the back burner due to medical expenses
