Sponsor a Family Support Initiative

When a child is diagnosed with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), families face overwhelming emotional, financial, and logistical challenges. Hospital stays, therapy sessions, medical equipment, and specialized care can place enormous strain on parents already coping with uncertainty and fear.

​

Through the Sponsor a Family Initiative, you can make a direct, life-changing impact. Your generosity helps provide critical resources and support to families who need it most, so they can focus on what truly matters: loving and caring for their child.

Why this Matters

The journey after an HIE diagnosis is not just about medical care—it’s about survival, stability, and hope. Many families struggle to cover:

​

  • Travel costs for hospital visits and specialist appointments

  • Therapeutic equipment such as adaptive seating, feeding supplies, or communication tools

  • Early intervention programs are critical for developmental progress

  • Basic needs during extended NICU stays, including meals, lodging, and transportation

 

By sponsoring a family, you ensure these burdens do not stand in the way of a child’s care and progress.

What your Sponsorship provides

Every sponsorship directly supports families impacted by HIE through:

​

  • Emergency Relief Grants for urgent needs

  • Medical Equipment Assistance to improve quality of life

  • Therapy & Developmental Support for early and ongoing interventions

  • Comfort & Care Packages for families navigating long hospital stays

  • Connection to Resources & Peer Support through our advocacy network
