Care Fund

With YOUR help, we answer the plea of a child...."I want to go home!" Care Fund's mission is to financially support Arizona families who are experiencing an extended illness or injury of their child and facing financial hardship. Care Fund provide rent or mortgage assistant payments to these families. We believe that no parent should have to choose between working to keep their home and caring for their ill child.

Medical expenses are the number one cause for financial bankruptcy. The financial burden put on families when a child is seriously ill is tremendous. Incomes get cut in half, parents lose their jobs or quit to stay home to care for their child, and medical expenses escalate. We grant rent/mortgage assistance to Arizona families based on their specific circumstances. We helped more than 100 families stay housed with their children last year. The sustainability of our mission is based on the generosity of the community to support Care Fund, an Arizona-based nonprofit. All monies raised stay in the state of Arizona.

Testimonials

"Thank you so much for easing a huge burden and giving us some much needed breathing room. When we got the diagnosis that [our son] had terminal brain cancer we were devastated and overwhelmed. Our world was turned upside down almost overnight. We were filled with grief, fear and stress and we felt that we were losing control of any sense of normalcy. Our priorities shifted and we found ourselves for the first time in our lives challenged to make ends meet. Cancer is scary enough but not being able to pay all the bills puts another level of stress on a family. When I got your call I was so overwhelmed because the help that we are receiving from the Care Fund is more than we were expecting. It is giving us the opportunity to spend more quality time with the kids"

As a Care Fund Mom tells us, "I will be forever grateful for Care Fund. Because of all of you, I was able to be on FMLA and give my son all of me, all of my attention and now he is in remission. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it means the world to our family."
