Why Your Support Matters
Every Dollar Doubled.
Every Family Matters.
We are a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit providing immediate financial relief and long-term support to families caring for children with tracheostomies.
We’re launching our Monthly Hero Program to provide reliable, year-round support for families caring for children with tracheostomies. By giving each month, you’ll help ensure that families facing medical and financial hardships receive assistance when they need it most—not just when a fundraiser ends. Will you be one of the 15 compassionate supporters to donate $50 a month?
$25 can provide a meal. $50 gas. $100 will help pay off an overdue bill. $500 medical supplies that insurance doesn’t cover. Every gift counts and will be doubled by our founding sponsor.
30 for $30 Monthly Giving Campaign
Help Us Say “Yes” to More Trach Families
30 monthly sponsors. $30 a month. One trach family gets major relief when they desperately need it.
Since launching June 2026, we’ve discovered that the financial need among trach families is far greater than we imagined. Each month, we receive so many requests for help that we often have to close applications early. More monthly donors means we can say “yes” to more families.
Our goal is simple: find 30 people who will commit to giving just $30 each month.

That boost might help cover:
- A utility bill during a long hospital stay
- Gas to get to medical appointments
- Groceries during a difficult month
- Medical or trach-related supplies
- Rent or another urgent household expense
Together, those 30 donors will provide $900 every month that can go directly toward helping an additional family caring for a child with a tracheostomy.
30 people × $30 = $900 of help every month.
We can’t help this extra family in need without your support. And it only takes 30 of us. Will you be one of our 30?

The Reality
What Trach Families Are Really Up Against
Behind every trach is a family managing complex medical care, financial strain, and constant vigilance.
Medical Care Gaps
Limited access to trained nursing and consistent care
Financial Pressure
Unexpected bills, lost income, and ongoing daily expenses
Transportation Challenges
Long-distance travel to specialists and frequent appointments
Equipment Costs
Essential medical equipment often not covered by insurance
Caregiver Burnout
24/7 care with little rest, support, or relief

Real Families. Real Relief.
Whether you need support or want to give it, Little Trachs helps families move from crisis toward stability.
From Crisis → Stability
Parents feel equipped instead of overwhelmed.
A grant arrives the week the bill does. A care guide answers the question the night nurse couldn’t. The fog lifts, just a little.
Exhaustion → Support
Families access help instead of falling through cracks.
When insurance denies, when programs run out, when the safety net frays — we are the next call, not the last.
From Isolation → Community
Caregivers find community instead of isolation.
Another parent who has been there. A text thread at 2 a.m. A reminder that this hard thing is not happening to you alone.
Together, we help families move beyond survival mode.

Common Questions
What Families & Donors Ask Us
Yes. The Little Trachs Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 413792319). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you’ll receive a written acknowledgment for any gift of $250 or more.
Any family caring for a child with an active or recent tracheostomy is eligible to apply. Requests are reviewed regularly by the Executive Director and designated board members, with priority given to urgency, financial hardship, and essential needs not covered by insurance or existing programs.
Whenever possible, we pay vendors and providers directly — utility companies, pharmacies, hospital billing offices, gas card programs. When direct payment isn’t an option, funds are sent to the family by ACH or check, typically within 72 hours of approval. 95% of every dollar reaches families; 5% covers the cost of running the program.
Email info@littletrachs.org for general questions, or support@littletrachs.org if you’re a family in need of assistance. We answer every message personally — usually within one business day.
