Donating online means your impact, and a 3X match from the Slaight Family Foundation and our Board of Directors, won’t be delayed.
Dare to pay attention
240 million children worldwide have a disability. Yet, there are only a handful of research hospitals focused on pediatric disability care. Coupled with an alarming shortage of specially trained clinicians, inadequate investment in research, and barriers to accessibility, kids with disabilities face inequities in virtually every area of their lives.

Your Impact
The best care is about more than medicine. It’s about understanding what families carry. For families who experience bias and discrimination, non-health factors like income, race, geography, and education.
