Brenden is a nine year old boy who has Marfan's syndrome. He needs an orthodontic device to help relieve the overcrowding of his teeth. Although the family has insurance, dental work is not covered. The dentist provided a 25 percent discount, and For Kids approved the balance of $1,311.00.

Randy is a three year old boy suffering from juvenile xanthogranuloma, a cancer-like disease that attacks different areas of the body. In Randy's case, his airway was affected. The disease is treated with chemo, delivered at Children's Hospital in Oakland at an out-of-pocket cost of $500.00 per treatment. He needs four more treatments. Dad lost his job last year, so the extra $2,000.00 needed for Randy's treatments is out-of-reach. For Kids approved the application to help Randy battle this terrible disease.
