Support organization

Baby Sharon Fund

The Baby Sharon Fund helps families of children with serious or catastrophic illnesses pay selected nonmedical expenses and obtain needed resources or equipment. A hospital social worker or other medical professional submits the request, and approved payments go to agencies or service providers rather than directly to the family. Assistance is reviewed case by case, generally at a monthly council meeting, and depends on family need and available funds.
