Grant Program

PURPOSE

O Warrior grants are to be used to assist families currently dealing with an Omphalocele diagnosis. We provide financial assistance to those families to help with the costs associated with medical care, long distance travel, or special living arrangements. There are many extra costs that omphalocele families can be burdened with while ensuring their baby gets the proper care that they need.

Funds may be used for things such as hospital expenses, provider office visits, specialty care visits, medical equipment/supplies, travel expenses (including airfare, gas, hotels, rental cars), etc. 

As we balance the availability of donated funds, priority will be given to families early in their omphalocele journey. (Prioritizing those in the NICU)
