The B.A.B.Y. Foundation: Providing Financial Assistance To Families

Financial Assistance for Children’s Medical Bills

March 18, 2024

Each year families in America are faced with the reality of the rising cost of medical care. 

Some families are faced with the difficult decision between paying household expenses or providing medical care for a sick child. When your child is sick, the last thing you should be worrying about is how you’re going to pay for their care. You should be able to focus solely on taking care of your child and getting them well. And that’s why The B.A.B.Y. Foundation was formed.

The B.A.B.Y Foundation was founded in 2003 and supports families in Northern Colorado who find
themselves under financial stress due to a child’s illness, medical condition, needed therapies, or mental
treatment, despite having insurance. Once a family is approved for assistance, we pay bills directly to
providers.





Who We Help

We’ve helped hundreds of local Northern Colorado families since 2003! Here are the stories of just a few

of those families:

  • Penelope was diagnosed with several conditions and required Open Heart Surgery at birth,as well as a lengthy hospital stay.
  • Malia was treated for third degree burns at the burn center at Children’s in Denver after being struck by a firework on the 4 th of July.
  • At 25 months old, Rosie was diagnosed with a granulosa cell tumor on her ovaries. Doctors were able to remove the entire cancerous tumor and Rosie has recovered completely, although she will continue to need follow-up scans as there is a 10% chance of regrowth. Today, at 2 years post diagnosis, Rosie is still cancer free!
  • After several days of high fever and low oxygen levels, Grayson was taken to the hospital and admitted for Bronchiolitis/Pneumonia.
