Partnership for Children believes that all children living with a life-threatening condition should have access to the care and emotional support they need to live life as fully as possible. Our mission is to increase access to medical care for children with serious illnesses and support their families.
Every child deserves a safe, stable, and supported home — especially when facing serious illness.
H.O.M.E. — Healing, Outreach, Mobility, and Empowerment:
Healing
Your gift brings healing — ensuring that children can access critical care, and that their families receive the support needed to face each day with strength.
Outreach
Your support extends beyond hospital walls. It reaches front doors with groceries, diapers, and essentials — easing the daily burdens families carry.
Mobility
Your donation helps families get where they need to go. Whether through reliable rides or gas cards, you ensure that distance is never a barrier to medical care.
Empowerment
Your generosity empowers families — offering financial assistance, emotional support, and peace of mind so they can focus on what matters most: their child’s well-being.
Give more than resources - give hope, dignity, and the foundation of a true home during the most difficult moments of life.
Partnership for Children serves all of Monterey County by increasing access to medical care for children living with serious illness and supporting their families. Over 175 children and their families are served in Monterey County each year receiving transportation to medical care locally as well as in the Bay Area; financial support to help with basic living expenses such as rent, utilities, and medical supplies not covered by insurance; food support in the form of grocery delivery; practical support including consistent diaper supply, car seat provision, and more; as well as holiday and recreational opportunities. We also provide case coordination and information and referral for community resources. These services help children to live as healthy a life as possible and help to reduce stress for families.
Partnership for Children gives us more than help, they give us hope. They help us breathe again by easing our daily stress. They bring us groceries, diapers, and even things we didn’t know we needed. They make sure we never miss a medical appointment. They remind us we aren’t alone, and that we can get through this. We feel seen, supported, and safe.
