The family of a child with a life-threatening medical condition focuses all its energy on their child. As a result, they often experience a financial crisis as they have little time left to deal with their daily needs. The GO BO Foundation can help alleviate some of a family’s financial worries by providing direct financial assistance.
The GO BO Foundation offers this assistance for children diagnosed with any life-threatening medical condition. Apply through the GO BO Foundation Family Assistance Program. Application materials are available below.
