How We Help

We assist families with a variety of expenses not covered by insurance, from rent and utility bills to transportation costs and dietary supplements. We also assist families with noncash items such as participation in our Holiday Adopt-a-Family program, furniture, handicap accessible vehicles, and so forth.

KADMF is not disease-specific: we help families whose children suffer from severe disabilities, critical injuries, or have been diagnosed with a wide variety of serious childhood diseases including, but not limited to:

Asthma (severe)
Autism
Behavioral Disorders (severe)
Birth Defects
Cancer
Cardiac Diseases
Cerebral Palsy
Crohn's Disease and IBD
Developmental Delays
Cystic Fibrosis
Diabetes
Down Syndrome
Epilepsy
Failure to Thrive
Hemophilia
HIV/Aids
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Liver Disease
Meningitis
Mental Retardation
Mitochondrial Diseases
Multiple Sclerosis
Muscular Dystrophy
Neurologic Disorders
Renal Disease
Seizure Disorders
Scoliosis
Sickle Cell Disease
Spina Bifida
Tay-Sachs Disease

Almost 70% of the families we help report that they have had to reduce the hours they work as a direct result of their child's illness, injury, or disability.
