Other Ways You Can Help
Feel Good Gifts
Feel Good Gifts are symbolic of the people, programs and research that help us discover cures, care for kids and support local communities. Feel Good Gifts are tax-deductible donations that support Lurie Children’s campaign for every child. When you shop Feel Good Gifts, you will be giving a gift that contributes to current research or direct patient programming. Each gift comes with a free card. For more information contact Kara Frost at kfrost@luriechildrens.org.
The Emergency Fund
The Emergency Fund provides assistance to families experiencing extreme financial hardship due to their child's illness. It helps with clothing, utilities, transportation costs and other essentials. Funds are carefully allocated after a full evaluation of the family's needs on a case by- case basis.
