The Dake Foundation for Children helps families access adaptive equipment and services that insurance may not cover. They offer grants for things like adaptive bikes, communication devices, therapy supports, and inclusive community programs. Their goal is to increase independence, participation, and joy for children and young adults with disabilities.
Jake’s Help From Heaven provides financial assistance to families of children and adults with complex medical needs or physical disabilities. They help cover the cost of adaptive equipment, technology, travel, and other essential supports that insurance may not fully fund. Grants are designed to reduce financial stress and help families access what their child needs to participate more fully in daily life.
