Lila is a two year old baby diagnosed with hypotonia and possible cerebral palsy. She is developmentally delayed and still has not started walking. Mom has requested assistance with leg braces that will help with her balance and stability. They are custom fit and the insurance will not cover the $1,858.00. cost. With a 30 percent discount from Acadian Rehab, For Kids approved the braces for $1,385.57.

Elisa is a 15 year old girl who was born with facial palsy. Reconstruction of her face was started last year, but requires three surgeries, each with an out-of-pocket cost of $10,000.00. The family's insurance will pay $45,000, but Mom and Dad are struggling to pay the copayment. For Kids approved $5,000.00 and enlisted the help of the Give Hope Foundation to provide 75 percent of the needed up front cost.
