The Megan’s Wings “Patient Aid” Program has been operating with Kaiser Permanente- Fontana, City Of Hope, and Loma Linda Children’s Hospital since January 2006, and provides aid to patients and their families who are in financial crisis as a result of their child’s treatment for cancer. The Aid Program is an application-driven program with initial screening provided by Social Services representatives at each hospital. If the patient and their family fits general “Patient Aid” program guidelines, they, or the social worker submits an application for assistance directly to Megan’s Wings. The Aid Program is designed to minimize administrative delays and provide funds to those in need as quickly as possible.

Since the Patient Aid Program’s launch, Megan’s Wings has provided aid to hundreds of children and families in need. We have funded items such as rent or mortgage, transportation, insurance co-payments, physician bills, funeral costs, gas & grocery vouchers, prosthetic limbs, complimentary nutrition/therapies not covered by insurance and many other items.

Become a Patient Aid program supporter

Megan’s Wings offers three wonderful ways for individuals interested in providing personal and direct support to connect to our Patient Aid children and their families while they are in treatment. Whether you would like to give a One-Time Gift, become a monthly donor through our Ongoing Support Program, or if you would like to be matched directly with one family through our Adopt-a-Family Program, we provide you with the options to make a real impact on a family in desperate need of help.

All donations are 100% tax deductible, and your donation provides crucial funds to families in our community struggling to survive while supporting their critically ill child.
