How medical professionals can connect families to
local support networks.
As a doctor, nurse, therapist, or other healthcare professional, you see it every day: families quietly carrying the weight of caring for a seriously ill child. You watch them navigate hospital visits, endless specialist appointments, and the emotional toll of a diagnosis. What you may not see are the hidden costs—the bills that insurance doesn’t cover, the lost wages from unpaid time off, the gas money for weekly trips to treatment.
At The B.A.B.Y. Foundation, we believe no family should have to face these challenges alone. And we know that medical professionals like you are often the first to notice when a family could use extra support.
Spotting Families Who May Benefit
Families don’t always ask for help, but there are ways to notice when support might be needed:
Frequent hospital visits or recurring treatments that stretch the family’s schedule and budget.
Parents expressing stress over medical bills or the logistics of care.
Families traveling long distances for specialty care or multiple specialists at once.
Signs of emotional strain in siblings who witness frequent hospitalizations.
Requests for guidance on equipment, therapy, or resources not covered by insurance.
Even a quiet observation can make a life-changing difference.

The Impact of Connection
When families receive support through BABY, it’s about more than covering a bill. It’s about:
Allowing a mom to stay bedside instead of worrying about work.
Covering the cost of specialized equipment that helps a child thrive.
Restoring peace of mind so a family can focus on care and recovery.
