How Our Funding Is Awarded

Medical providers at our Partnering Hospitals/Clinics can nominate a child and their family for Emergency Relief Funds through our Purple Playas SMILES Grant Application. If you are a family in need, please talk to your child’s medical provider. If they are not already a Purple Playas Partner, asked them to contact us about becoming a partner.

Support Families in Crisis

Families of children with chronic conditions often face significant financial strain. The cost of medical care, travel to treatment, and daily living expenses can create added stress.

In times of crisis, additional, unforeseen challenges can increase stress and financial burdens even further.

The Purple Playas Emergency Family Relief Fund provides financial support to families navigating chronic illness and urgent hardship.

Why This Fund Matters .

One of our partnering hospitals shared:

“The destruction in our area is just devastating. We have multiple clinic families who have lost their homes, and we’re working on connecting them with resources and community assistance to help get them back on their feet.”

Families may be facing:

  • Loss of housing
  • Disruption to medication access or medical services
  • Death of a primary caregiver
  • Financial hardship due to treatment needs
  • Loss of job
  • Added strain from natural disasters

Your support helps provide relief during these difficult times.
