Resource Stats
Fred's Footsteps provides direct financial assistance to working families in the Philadelphia region struggling with the costs of caring for a seriously ill, injured, or disabled child. They offer substantial support with non-medical expenses like mortgage payments, utilities, medical equipment, and home modifications so parents can focus on their child's health.
The organization provides sustained support for up to one year with monetary assistance up to $10,000 per family, recognizing that families need ongoing help throughout their child's illness, not just one-time aid. They serve 19 counties across Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware, working with 275 hospital social workers to identify families in need. Fred's Footsteps also connects families to other resources and provides advocacy support beyond just financial assistance.
