Avery’s Hope provides financial assistance to the rare, ultra rare and undiagnosed pediatric GI patient families facing out-of-pocket and insurance denied expenses. Money raised benefits the HOPE Family Fund for the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, The Acacia Puleo Small Bowel/Liver Transplant Patient Assistance Fund at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Patient Assistance for children who have developed GI complications from cancer, or cancer treatments, at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Patient Assistance for the GI Department at Texas Children’s Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital. Avery’s Hope also offers small individual awards to families in need.
