Support organization

Carter's Foundation

Carter's Foundation provides personalized home packages, hospital-distributed comfort items, shared video-game carts, customized inpatient rooms, light projectors, caregiver toiletry packs, and CHOC holiday gifts. Public application language conflicts about diagnosis scope and whether families must reside, treat, or both reside and treat in Southern California, so applicants should confirm eligibility directly.
