Non-Profit Grants and Scholarships for Children with Special Needs
I’m sharing this from another support group. I thought this list will be helpful to many parents within our forums whose children have PH, are listed or have received a transplant or living with co-existing conditions. Some organizations are state specific but several are nation wide.Have you reached out to any of these groups in the past and if so, were they able to help you?Non-Profit Grants and Scholarships for Children with Special Needs- Action for Autism helps families obtain the resources and funds they need to raise their child.

I wanted to share this again as It may have been missed. It was about 6 months ago but has such value. @colleensteele gives a helpful list of resources to those who have children with special needs. I am interested to see if anyone has reached out and if so, what was your experience?
I can only imagine how challenging it must be for our parents with special needs children. Thanks for sharing this, Colleen. I hope that others will find it helpful, too.

Thanks for re-sharing, Jen. If I had happened upon this list when Cullen had PH I might have looking into a few of them, especially Wheelchairs 4 Kids. It would be great to hear from someone who has contacted any of these sources.
