Contributing to the Financial Assistance Program at Heartspring

From July 2010 - June 2011, 146 families received $239,775 in financial assistance to cover the cost of speech, occupational or physical therapy at Heartspring Pediatric Services.

"The Financial Assistance Program means a lot to my family. It means that Grant can come here for physical therapy and speech...something that he's been doing since he was a year old," said Grant’s mom Gina.

I didn't realize that insurance would stop after 20 visits. It's unfair," said Breanne, Ayana’s mom. "I thought how can she improve without additional therapy?" After calling Heartspring, she was assured that there was a way for Ayana to continue therapy. A thankful Breanne said she admires those who contribute to the fund.

“I know there are so many children that need help,” said Rylee’s mom, Rachelle. “With two therapies a week, it’s hard to make ends meet. She really needed it (therapy) and I didn’t want to pull her out.” Rylee’s parents are thankful to all the donors who contribute to the fund. “It’s really needed,” said Rachelle. “Hopefully someday we’ll be able to give back.”

What would you do if you were a parent of a child with a disability?

What would you do if faced with the challenge of balancing household finances and the burden of being underinsured?

What would you do if your child needed speech, occupational or physical therapy several times a week but you didn’t have the income or insurance to cover the cost?

The Financial Assistance Fund provides a solution, ensuring that children are able to receive the therapy they need.

For as little as $10 a month you can help support a child with autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome or other developmental delay.
