The Every Child Fund


 

Support families desperate for lifesaving answers

Parents do everything they can to save a sick child—leave a job, travel thousands of miles, even put their lives on hold. Your gift wraps families in care:

  • Temporary housing—and a home-away-from-home—near their child receiving care
  • Rent and utility-bill payments, parking, food vouchers and more to ease the financial stress of caring for a sick child
  • Social workers, stress-relieving therapies and child life services to help the whole family cope

Move us closer to cures

You empower our researchers to find tomorrow’s cures—and give sick kids a second chance at life. For 150 years, our experts have delivered more research breakthroughs than any other children’s hospital, including: 

  • The polio vaccine
  • The first successful use of chemotherapy
  • A cure for sickle cell disease

Help every child get the care they deserve

Your gift helps:

  • Serve more low-income families than any other Boston-area health care provider.
  • Meet our goal to bring the best care within reach of every child, through new partnerships and research. 
  • Find and eliminate differences in the health care kids receive due to factors like race and ethnicity, family income and location.
