About The Foundation

Kids For Gratitude, Inc is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides assistance to children with Diseases/Rare Diseases and their families. Some of the ways we help are: Expansion of Children’s Education, Providing Supplies and Needs not covered by medical insurance, referral for streamline and professional counseling.

  • Educating the Chronically Ill Child – Many children who have medical and rare diseases are not able to attend school and their schoolwork suffers. Others, unfortunately, are frequently sick, miss lots of school, and may find themselves falling far behind in their classes. Medical bills can be a tremendous hardship on a family financially where they cannot afford to hire a tutor so their child keeps up with their schoolwork. Kids For Gratitude serves these children and their families in this area.
  • Providing Medical Supplies or Equipment – Some medical supplies are not covered under insurance or are considered cosmetic. This is an area where Kids For Gratitude serves to help these families providing these neccesities. This way these families can focus on what matters, their child.
  • Professional Counseling – When a child is sick, this can be very mentally challenging on the child and family. These families need and want counseling but cannot afford it with all their medical bills. Kids for Gratitude serves these children and families in this area.
