Many states have developed legislation designed to give financial help to families that are dealing with extreme financial burden associated with injuries and illnesses like brain injury and cerebral palsy.

Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Funds can help when there are expenses associated with your child’s brain injury or cerebral palsy that are not covered by insurance, government benefits, or other sources.

If you are a parent who has expenses related to your child’s condition that are not covered by another source, contact your state government to inquire whether a Relief Fund is available. Rules and regulations vary by state.
