IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL FAMILIES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:

applications from families in need of financial assistance to help pay for
their child’s health care treatments, services or equipment not covered, or
not fully covered, by their commercial health insurance plan.

medical services and equipment such as physical, occupational and speech
therapy, counseling services, surgeries, prescriptions, wheelchairs,
orthotics, eyeglasses and hearing aids.
To be eligible for a grant, children must be 16 years of age or
younger.Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the United States
and have a commercial health insurance plan. Grants are available for
medical expenses families have incurred 60 days prior to the date of
application as well as for ongoing and future medical needs. Parents or
legal guardians may apply for grants at www.uhccf.org, and there is no
application deadline. Organizations or private donors can make
tax-deductible donations to the foundation at this website.

a child’s health and quality of life by making it easier to access
