Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation - $25k

The Mother’s Hope campaign. The purpose of the fund is to provide flexible resources to help as many families as possible who are experiencing financial hardship because of their children battling cancer. The hope is that by alleviating some of the financial worry the families will be better able to cope and support their children throughout the cancer treatment whether as an inpatient or outpatient. The funds are used for food, house-hold expenses, car repairs, travel needs, lodging, phone bills, out-of-pocket expenses for medications or medical supplies, child-care for siblings, or any other expenses that will help to ease a family’s financial burden and allow them to be at their child’s side. Social workers at The Children’s Hospital work closely with families to understand their situation and connect them with the services and resources they need. The social workers act as liaisons to distribute Mother’s Hope Foundation Endowment Fund resources to families.
