First Hand Foundation – Funding Assistance with Health Related Needs for un-insured or under-insured Children
The First Hand Foundation is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides funding so individual children may have access to health care that would otherwise be impossible. Our mission is to directly impact the health status of a young life. Since our inception in 1995, First Hand has distributed more than $16 million to impact 146,000 lives in 76 countries.
First Hand assists individual children with health-related needs when insurance and other financial resources have been exhausted.
The Foundation helps with clinical necessities (such as medication and surgeries), medical equipment and travel related to a child’s care. Additionally, the Foundation implores doctors, hospitals and equipment providers to discount their services below listed prices. Funding is distributed directly to the child’s immediate healthcare provider.
