Every child deserves the life they were meant to live.

Wellspring helps children with serious medical conditions get the care, treatment and support their families can't afford alone.

Who we are

We help children breathe easier, and their families too.

Wellspring supports children with serious medical needs by covering treatment, surgeries, transplants, therapy and ongoing care.

When a child is sick, the bill often becomes a second illness for the family. Rooms are given up, jobs are left, and savings quietly disappear into co-pays, travel and time away from work.

We step in so no parent has to choose between hope and what they can afford.

What we do

Fund critical care

Surgeries, transplants, chemotherapy, therapy — the treatments that can't wait. We move quickly so a diagnosis doesn't have to become a debt.

Support daily life

Transport to appointments, medication refills, rent kept current, food on the table. The quiet costs that arrive with an illness and are easy to miss.

Stand with families

A caseworker who answers the phone, a community that shows up. No family should navigate a child's illness alone, so we stay beside them, start to finish.

Our impact

Our partners

Working with the world's leading child health organizations.

Featured story

Am I gonna die?

Amira would always ask the doctor that.

Her eyes filled with tears. Her little voice would shake as she waited for an answer no child should ever have to hear.

“Am I gonna die?”

She is only seven years old.

While other children her age are supposed to be worrying about school, cartoons, birthday parties, and what they want to be when they grow up, Amira is spending her days between hospital rooms, doctors, tests, and waiting.
