Family helped with child's medical insurance

Cape Cod Times (Hyannis, MA)

A young mother contacted the Needy Fund for mortgage assistance.

Due to a car accident, her husband is unable to work.

Their child, whose medical condition took months for doctors to diagnose, has been in and out of hospitals for a week at a time.

The family has to travel to Boston on a near-weekly basis for treatment.

Because of child care costs, the mother stays home to care for her children and must be creative about finding work.

With medical equipment costing $900 a month out of pocket, a Needy Fund intake counselor referred the mother to her state representative for medical insurance approval. This referral was a success – the family is to be covered for their child's medical equipment costs.

More about the Needy Fund

Many human service agencies offer assistance to those in need, but the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund has been helping with a host of immediate, short-term emergencies such as food, rent, medical costs and other basic expenses since 1936. In 2022, the Needy Fund received more than 7,500 requests for assistance as of November and provided direct financial assistance to more than 4,000 clients.

No cash is given to Needy Fund recipients. Instead, the nonprofit pays vendors through a voucher program. The case described above was provided by the Needy Fund on the condition of anonymity.

Last year's total: Cape Cod Times Needy Fund campaign raises $1.62M, exceeding goal

How to donate to the Needy Fund

Donations, which are tax-deductible, may be made at needyfund.org. Checks also can be made payable to the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund and mailed to Cape Cod Times Needy Fund, P.O. Box 36, Hyannis, MA 02601.

How to get Needy Fund assistance

Those needing assistance may contact the Needy Fund at 508-778-5661 or 800-422-1446.

Questions can be emailed to [email protected]. The Needy Fund is also on Facebook (facebook.com/NeedyFund) and Twitter (@NeedyFund).
