“Naomi isn’t able to ride a two-wheel bike because of balance issues. It was electrifying hearing we received a grant to fund a three-wheel trike for her. It made her dreams possible.”

Rebecca | Naomi’s Mother

A family of four with a mom, dad, and two little girls stands together, smiling at the camera. The mom, Jill, has her hand on the little girl Maci’s arm. Maci is wearing glasses and standing closest to the camera.

“The doctors told us Maci needed 4-5 therapies a week if we wanted the best outcome, but our insurance had a hard cap on the amount they’d allow each year. UHCCF enabled us to get her the amount of therapy she needed.”

Jeff & Jill | Maci's parents

A little girl named Naomi stands with her pink walker and smiles at the camera.

“Thanks to UHCCF and its donors, we were able to continue the services Liam desperately needed. They’ve made a world of difference in his life and enabled him to become the wonderful little child that we see today.”

Marcus & Tiffany | Liam’s parents
