We bring hope to families in need who may be struggling and need financial or medical assistance in the care of a sick or disabled child.
Pediatric Angel Network has two major components to the organization.(1) Provides financial and material assistance to families of children with a long term illness or disability. Families may be experiencing difficulty due to expenses not covered by insurance but necessary for the care of their child. This may include: medications, equipment, medical and household supplies, utility bills due to equipment usage, etc. . Pediatric Angel Network may even be able to assist with an uncovered operation. (2) We believe joy can eclipse an illness. Therefore we have formed a youth mentoring program with local high schools and universities enabling students to partner with special needs children. Through this partnership, the student will gain community service credit and the child will gain a friend that will engage them in activities and play appropriate for the childs medical condition. Student volunteers are trained in CPR by a professional instructor and an introduction to pediatric special needs and childhood illness is given.
Families experiencing a hardship in the care of a sick or disabled child may visit www.pediatricangelnetwork.com to submit an online application for assistance. Please note that we ask you to submit a letter from the child's pediatrician or social worker verifying the child's illness or disability along with the online submission.
