Miracles for Kids operates the Molly’s Kids Grant Program at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) to provide financial assistance to pediatric oncology patients and their families and/or caregivers.

The Grant Program is an application-driven program with the goal of assisting families who are struggling to make ends meet as a result of their child’s illness. Applicants are screened by their CHOC Pediatric Oncology Social Services representative and if approved, submit an application for assistance directly to Miracles for Kids. There is very little red tape associated with the program, and as are funds to provided directly to the families, Miracles for Kids is able to assist those in need very quickly.

Miracles for Kids has funded needs such as first month’s deposit on a new apartment related to a necessary move, mortgage, rent, utilities, insurance payments, and renovation costs necessary to prepare a home environment for a child when released from the hospital. We have also provided assistance with funeral costs for families who children who lose their battle and have to handle unexpected costs in the face of their loss. All applications that come to Miracles for Kids are considered, and if a true need is presented, Miracles for Kids works to assist families in any way possible.

The Molly’s Kids Grant Program is a unique program at CHOC and continues to grow with more applications coming in each month.
