Apply for Assistance

If you are a parent or guardian of a child with a life threatening heart condition and have been forced to incur significant financial burdens in the process of getting your child the medical attention they require, you are most likely eligible to receive financial assistance from the Erika Kate Foundation. Let us know how we can help you.  The application process consists of the following:

1.  Complete and submit the two page application which notifies us of basic contact information for you and a social worker familar with your situation.  The application is available for download via these links:

2.  Prepare a one or two page letter of hardship describing your journey with your child’s heart condition and medical problems.  Let us know how this condition has created challenges for you as you’ve sought to get your child the care he or she requires.

3.  Provide us with a statement or invoice for payments you want EKF to help you with.  It’s helpful to include the vendor name, address, phone number, and your account number as related to the vendor.  Failure to submit this information may result in significant delay in processing your application.

4.  Submit the completed application, the letter of hardship and vendor information to EKF by one of three mechanisms.
