How can we help?
Wish Big Foundation helps people pay for medical treatment, the travel it takes and the medical bills that follow, and helps families with the funeral costs of a loved one. Start here: it takes about 10 minutes, and everything you tell us is private.

We look at every application against the same written criteria (financial need compared with the federal poverty guidelines, what insurance and other sources cover, how urgent the need is, and the difference our help would make). If it fits, we invite you to a private account to send the documents we need, and two reviewers score it separately. Our help is paid directly to your doctor, hospital, funeral home or other provider, never to you.
