BECOME A MONTHLY HERO

Our goal is simple: Find 30 people who can commit to giving just $30 each month.

Since launching June 2026, we’ve discovered that the financial need among trach families is far greater than we imagined. Each month, we receive so many requests that we have to close applications early.

30 people × $30 = $900 to an extra family in crisis every month.

Real Families. Real Relief.

Whether you need support or want to give it, Little Trachs helps families move from crisis toward stability.

From Crisis → Stability

Parents feel equipped instead of overwhelmed.

A grant arrives the week the bill does. A care guide answers the question the night nurse couldn’t. The fog lifts, just a little.

Exhaustion → Support

Families access help instead of falling through cracks.

When insurance denies, when programs run out, when the safety net frays — we are the next call, not the last.

From Isolation → Community

Caregivers find community instead of isolation.

Another parent who has been there. A text thread at 2 a.m. A reminder that this hard thing is not happening to you alone.

Together, we help families move beyond survival mode.

Common Questions

What Families & Donors Ask Us

Is my tax donation deductible?

Yes. The Little Trachs Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 413792319). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you’ll receive a written acknowledgment for any gift of $250 or more.

How are families selected for support?

Any family caring for a child with an active or recent tracheostomy is eligible to apply. Requests are reviewed regularly by the Executive Director and designated board members, with priority given to urgency, financial hardship, and essential needs not covered by insurance or existing programs.

How are funds distributed?

Whenever possible, we pay vendors and providers directly — utility companies, pharmacies, hospital billing offices, gas card programs. When direct payment isn’t an option, funds are sent to the family by ACH or check, typically within 72 hours of approval. 95% of every dollar reaches families directly; 5% covers the cost of running the program.
